Types of Accessible Performances

Access Pass

The Access Pass is designed to improve the booking experience for Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent audience members.

Concessions

Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people are eligible for a 50% concession on full price tickets. We recognise that people can experience disabling barriers, regardless of whether they identify as disabled or not.

What we mean by "disabled"

The Edinburgh International Festival uses the term "disabled people" to refer to anyone who self-identifies as disabled. This can include Deaf and neurodivergent people if they identify as disabled, as well as others living with impairments (physical, sensory, learning, cognitive, long-term health conditions etc) that identify as disabled.

Some Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent people may not identify as disabled but the Edinburgh International Festival is guided by the Social Model of Disability and recognises that people can experience disabling barriers, whether they identify as disabled or not.
