Turf Moor has a total of 153 wheelchair bays and persona assistant seats; 86 in the North East Stand, 45 in the South East Stand, and 12 in the Barnfield Construction Stand for away supporters.
All applicants for accessible seating are required by Burnley to produce confirmation of their entitlement to one of the following, which must be shown at the Ticket Office before the supporter is registered as disabled:
- Receipt of the mid-rate care element or the high-rate mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement or Personal Independence Payments (PIP)
- Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance
- War Pensioners’ Mobility Allowance or War or Service Disablement Pension for 80% or more disability
- Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (BD8 or CVI Certificate) or evidence from an eye specialist, for example an optometrist, that the individual would qualify to be registered as severely sight impaired (blind) or sight impaired (partially sighted).
- Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual is included on their Deaf Register, or a letter or report from an aural specialist confirming that hearing loss has been recorded at 70 – 95 dBHL or worse
- Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual has a learning difficulty or disability. This may include Proof of Registration with Social Services, or if not on the Local Authority Register, a letter from a doctor or support worker confirming that the individual has a difficulty in learning new skills, or may be unable to cope independently. For children – a letter from the head teacher at a specialist school confirming eligibility will be acceptable
If you are not in receipt of one of the above and you would like to discuss your individual requirements and circumstances with the club, then please contact Burnley's Supporter Services directly at slo@burnleyfc.com.
Supporters receiving the medium or higher rate care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), and/or standard or enhanced rate care component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will be entitled to a free match ticket or season ticket for their personal assistant to accompany them on match days; Burnley may request evidence to support this where necessary and disabled supporters are required to enter the ground with and sit with their personal assistant during the match.
To ascertain eligibility, Burnley require supporters fill in a registration document that is available upon request by contacting the club at ticketoffice@burnleyfc.com or 01282 446 8000 option 2.
