Accessible tickets offered?
They don’t have a separate specific ticket type. Instead, when you order you can add notes for accessibility (e.g. “wheelchair space”, “end of row” or other requests) and the team will accommodate you.
Front row seats are assigned, while the rest of the venue isn’t – though if you need to sit near someone who’s in a front row seat, that’s something you can also request at the time of buying a ticket.
Carer tickets provided?
Yes, carers go free with the discount code GIGBUDDIES. Add two tickets to your basket when you’re booking and enter the code when you check out.
Easy to contact?
Via a contact form on the site above, or on Instagram (@sacrificeprowrestling), Facebook (Sacrifice Pro Wrestling) or X (@Sacrifice_PW).

Easy to contact?
Yep, they’re easy to get hold of via X, Bluesky, or through the contact form on the website.
Any other info:
Resurgence really is the gold standard of UK wrestling promotions when it comes to providing information on accessibility. Extensive information about the venue is available on their ticket pages and on their social media prior to each show, including information on how to get to the venue, where Blue Badge holders should park, whether there’s likely to be issues with travel, and more.
They offer early accessible entry, ten minutes before general entry, and also have ear defenders and a chill-out space available for anyone who needs them.
When we’ve had feedback about the venue issues, they’ve been happy to chat about it with us and make changes based on our experience.
Other promotions should be taking notes.

Any other info:
The FAQ on their website says that though accessibility varies from venue to venue, they will do their best to ensure they can accommodate any needs you might have, and recommend getting in touch via the contact form.
We’ve been told by people who’ve attended their shows that the red shirts – Progress staff wearing easy-to-spot red t-shirts – have been really helpful whenever there’s a problem.
