That's the beauty of it all! :) Well that's the thing Allan, because you don't need a lift to access the wheelchair seating at Eden Park, in an emergency, you simply wheel out the door!

Any emergency and the lifts are out of bounds / won't work. How do you get out in your wheelchairs? Nth Harbour Stadium the same. Nth Shore Events Centre QE2 in Chch and several other event centres now have staff trained and special equipment to safely and easilly get anyone in a wheelchair down the stairs. Eden Park and all other stadiums etc should be looking at this eqipment! Eden Park is great till there is a problem. Any emergency and the lifts are out of bounds / won't work.

It's a shame it's not so good for those with a physical disability that don't have a wheelchair. My bolity is restricted but I can walk with the aid of a caliper on one leg and have issues with my arms. I have in the past received tickets for seating in the back row, but today was informed by the staff at Eden Park that as I don't have a wheelchair, I'm not eligible. EDEN PARK - Big bad on my my behalf. Watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you're absolutely right it is fantastic if you are in a wheelchair.

The only problem that I found was that when a try is scored everyone in front stands and you are left asking, did he score. North Harbour stadium is also very wheelchair friendly the seating excellent especially at the Fuji lounge level and parking is very good. However from memory I think the tickets were sold at half price. Keep up the good work Red.
