Accessibility + Carers Tickets
Northern Frights is proud to partner with Nimbus Disability, operators of the Access Card scheme, to streamline the process for Essential Companion tickets (Carers Ticket) and easy access eligibility for our events.
Carers tickets are only valid on conventions and festivals - not meals/balls
All applications for Essential Companion tickets (Carers Ticket) or easy access must now be made online through Nimbus Disability at least 14 days before attending an event.
Nimbus Disability will carry out a detailed assessment of your needs, using the supporting documentation and statements you provide, to determine your eligibility for a free Essential Companion ticket (Carers Ticket) or easy access services. Your personal information will be handled safely and securely throughout the process.
Please note that having a disability does not guarantee access to these services. Nimbus Disability will review each application on an individual basis.
Once completed, it will last for 3 years.

What is the difference between an Access Card and a Northern Frights Digital Access Pass?
The Access Card is a universal way to communicate your access requirements with organisations and ticketing systems across the UK and beyond.
Access Cards cost £15 for 3 years and can be used at thousands of venues and events. You can explore the Access Card directory here: Access Card Directory.
A Northern Frights Digital Access Pass is a free way to share your access requirements with us. You'll go through the same application process, but instead of receiving a physical card, you'll get a confirmation email with your Digital Access Pass number. This pass is valid for 3 years, and you can upgrade to a full Access Card at any time.

Why is the process changing and how does this benefit me?
This will enable us to fully understand the access requirements of our customers and provide reasonable adjustments, such as access to certain seating and essential companion tickets.
Nimbus is a Social Enterprise that has received international recognition for operating the Access Card Scheme. Nimbus is run by, and for, disabled people. The system offers greater privacy, as disabled people with access requirements will no longer need to carry supporting documents or explain circumstances to staff. You’ll only need to supply information once to the Nimbus team, who can then issue you with an Access Card or a Digital Access Pass reference number - depending on which route you choose when signing up
Important Information about Carers Tickets
Please note that an Essential Companion ticket (Carers Ticket) is provided to assist with access to the event and does not grant participation in any additional activities such as photo shoots, meet and greets, or other add-on experiences.
If you wish to take part in these activities, a separate ticket will need to be purchased for the individual attending the event. The Carers Ticket only covers general event access to support the ticket holder's needs.
