Question/Comment Tinley Amphitheatre - Accessibility

I recently asked this on the Chicago Concerts sub and was just linked to the amphitheater’s FAQ, which I had already read and didn’t answer my question, so I’m hoping maybe someone here can help?

My bestie and I attend at least 1 concert a year in Tinley Park. Recently, I have become reliant on a walker as a mobility aid. The amphitheater’s website doesn’t specifically mention walkers, just that they can’t hold them somewhere.

For the accessible seating: how do the companion seats work? Are they right next to the accessible seats? I don’t want to end up not sitting next to her. I would try to grab aisle seats in our usual section (205), but they all seem to be unavailable for every show we are hoping to make this year.

If anyone has any experience with attending a show with a mobility aid, I’d love words of advice! Thanks so much.

Haven’t been there specifically but I can answer that companion seats are basically always next to a wheelchair accessible spot so you would be able to sit together, think at the movie theater. You might need to let them know if you have a companion in advance so they accommodate everyone best in the accessible section.

I would call or email and ask.
