Accessibility at Scandinavium

Book wheelchair spaces

Booking wheelchair spaces for events at Scandinavium is often done via Ticketmaster at Ticketmaster.se or via phone on 077-670 77 77. To book tickets for wheelchair spaces at Frölunda HC’s home matches, contact lotta.algotsson@frolundahockey.com.

The wheelchair spaces are located in row 6 in sections C, D, G, J, K, R and T. Which spaces that are available varies on different events.

When you book a ticket with a wheelchair space, one (1) free companion is always included. The companion can sit on a chair near you. If you have another party that you want to sit close to, we recommend they try to book seats in row 5, in the same section as you. They will then sit on the row just in front of the wheelchair space.

Mobility impairment without a wheelchair

If you have a mobility impairment and want to avoid stairs, we recommend that you book a ticket in row 6, which is at ground level. To access other seating areas or the standing area, stairs are required. Unfortunately, there is no elevator available. If you need crutches, it is OK to bring them into the arena.

Get to the arena

• By public transport
  If you go by public transport, the nearest stop is Scandinavium. In Västtrafik’s travel planner, you can find the best route and also see which trams and busses have room for wheelchairs.
• By car
  If you take the car and have a parking permit for people with disabilites, there are four parking lots just in front of the arena. Keep in mind that the parking areas can become busy at events.
• With service transport
  If you go with service transport, state “Scandinavium, Valhallagatan 1” when ordering. If you book service to get you from the arena, we recommend that you have about half an hour to spare on your booking. This because it is rarely possible to know the exact end time for an event.

Entrance

There is a ramp just in front of the arena that will take you to the main entrance. There you can choose which entrance you would like to use.

Arena plan

Scandinavium consists of four floors. The entrance is on ground level, floor 0.

Accessible toilets are available in sections U, B, D and M.

Scandinavium has a wide range of food and drink options. On the ground level you will find several kiosks with low counters, Espresso House and the two bars Kranen and Foajébaren. Kranen, located at section G, is a fully accessible bar.

Elevators in the foyer take you up to Glöd Kök & Bar, which has an extra low counter. There is also an elevator that takes you one floor down to the Legends Bar. However, to use it you need to contact the nearest Got Event host. This is due to security reasons.
