MACKY AUDITORIUM

(Artist Series, CU Opera, Holiday Festival, CU College of Music events)
All patrons with mobility disabilities should enter via the front entrance of the Auditorium. Handicapped parking is available by the front doors of Macky Auditorium and there is a ramp for easy access to the building through the farthest west front door. To access the front entrance of the building, turn north off of University Ave onto Macky Drive (into campus). For all Artist Series, CU Opera, and Holiday Festival concerts, a parking attendant will hand-collect $3.00 and guide patrons to the circle drive for drop off or to nearby reserved handicapped parking spaces.

Seating for Wheelchair Users and Persons with Mobility Disabilities
Macky Auditorium has three designated seating areas for wheelchair users and all are located on the main floor. They are: House Left, Row A, Seat 7 (1 space), Row JJ Seat 0 (2 spaces), House Right, Row M, Seat 0 (2 spaces), for a total of 5. If the patron prefers, they may sit in their reserved seat, and their wheelchair will be stored by an usher at the back of the Hall behind the last row in any section. Wheelchairs may not be stored or occupied in the aisle as per fire regulations. Aisle seating is also available for patrons with mobility disabilities.  We regret that none of the aisle seats in Macky Auditorium have removable armrests. There is an elevator located at the west end of the main lobby.  The elevator goes to the Loge 1 (first balcony) level only. Loge 2 and Loge 3 sections of the hall must be accessed by stairs.  Please note that the only restrooms in Macky Auditorium are located on the main floor.
