Lincoln Center’s approach to accessibility mirrors our commitment to create performing arts spaces that are more inclusive of our audiences’ identities and access needs. We have centered accessibility in all aspects of the hall's design, not as an afterthought or add-on. We recognize that access needs must be integrated in the creative process, that the work on our stages reflects our differences and interconnectedness, and that we are creating a space where everyone feels welcome. A range of accommodations is provided for all performances, no request necessary. Click here to learn more.
If you have any questions or requests, contact us via email at [email protected] or by phone at 212-875-5375.

Access Concierge Service
As part of our continued commitment to making Lincoln Center accessible and inclusive, we are excited to offer a new service to our guests who request additional assistance. Access Reps, trained to support guests with disabilities, provide 1:1 support for individual guests and their party.

- Check in at intermission, see if the guest needs anything, answer questions/receive feedback
- Assistance with departure from the performance venue
Inquire about this service when purchasing a ticket through the Lincoln Center Box Office or CenterCharge. Guests who already have their tickets can email [email protected] for further information. Please note that this service should be requested at least 7 business days prior to the performance, and assistance is based on staff availability.
