Digest 520/Special handicap seating?

[Guest guest]

Debi;

Usually it doesn't take any thing but just being

willing to ask. . . I won tickets to a a McBride

concert and I didn't think about how I was going to

stand in line, walk up the bleachers, or any of that.

.. til hubby mentioned it.(think he was looking for me

to back out. . LOL) Neither of us had been to a

concert and I think he was afraid it would be too

taxing on me and he wasn't sure he wanted to go

because of them being so loud. . his ears are

extremely sensative.

But, when I went to pick up the tickets I asked the

lady if there would be an area for handicap or

disabled. She called the concert hall and asked them

if I needed special seating or just show up. They

mailed me special tickets for disabled. It was

wonderful. No lines, just walked in off the parking

lot, which I got right by the door, walked in and the

seats were on a balcony that over looked the stage. It

was great! (A little loud but if you covered your ears

you could hear and it was just right! LOL)and I got to

see Mark Wills who was on tour with her, he sang what

I deemed the CMT theme song. . . " Don't Laugh at Me " .

But, I decided after that experience. . I would ask. .

all they can do is say " NO " . Also, for those who are

like I was and don't realize there are benefits in

other things. . . I got a Golden Access card and it

helps get discounts with many things; State Parks give

discounts and sometimes gets your whole family in for

free. So, every where I go I ask if they take Golden

Access.It doesn't cost anything to get it but you show

your Handicap pink slip you have when you get your

placard or handicap license plate.

Good luck, and I believe in using these benefits for

it is my contribution to our family's budget since I

can no longer bring in an income! We like to camp and

usually it saves half or better on the fees. Rocky

Mountain National Park let our whole family in for

nothing ($10 a pop)

Big Hugs. . too all! Libby
