NO ELEVATOR: There is no elevator in The Paramount. If the patron has difficulty climbing stairs, please seat them on the main level (section Orch or Orch Rear). There are floor seats reserved for wheelchairs and patrons who cannot use stairs. Please call the Ticket Office at (510) 465-6400 for assistance regarding accessible seating. WHEELCHAIR LOCATIONS: The Paramount Wheelchair Accessible location is a flat concrete area for the wheelchair and a fixed seat for a companion. THERE IS NO CHAIR IN THIS AREA TO ACCOMMODATE THE WHEELCHAIR PATRON. The patron will remain in their wheelchair for the duration of the show. Patrons must arrive in their own wheelchair as the Paramount Theatre does not provide wheelchairs. If the patron arrive without a wheelchair and have tickets for wheelchair location, they WILL NOT BE ACCOMODATED. The Paramount Theatre has a limited number of spaces available for patrons in wheelchairs and they are solely for the purpose of accomodating patrons in wheelchairs. Patrons may exchange regular seating tickets for wheelchair location under special circumstances. The Paramount will make every effort to accomodate such requests but cannot guarantee the availability of wheelchair seating for sold out performances. Under no circumstance may patrons exchange wheelchair location tickets for regular seating. TRANSFER SEATS: If the wheelchair patron is able to transfer from their wheelchair to a fixed seat, The Paramount is equipped to handle the request. We refer to these seats as transfer seats. The arm swings open in order for the patron to slide out of their wheelchair into the fixed seat. The patron's wheelchair must be taken to the back of the theatre to comply with local fire regulations. At the end of the performance the usher will return with the wheelchair. Transfer seats may also be used to accommodate patrons with crutches or walkers. EXTRA WIDE AISLE: The Paramount has an extra wide aisle in front of Orterr row AA if a patron requests additional legroom. ACCESSIBLE RESTROOMS: There are two (2) wheelchair accessible restrooms located on the main floor between the 21st Street entrance and Aisle 5. INFRARED LISTENING DEVICES: Infrared assistive listening devices are available at no charge (subject to availability) for all performances at the Paramount Theatre. Patrons may pick up the headset at Coat Check near Aisle 1. Headsets may be used with or without a hearing aid. Patrons will be asked to leave an ID and their phone number to secure a headset. These will be returned when the headset is returned at the end of the performance. BEVERAGE SERVICE: Prior to performances and during intermission, a Paramount employee is available on the main floor near aisle 3 to provide drink service for patrons unable to climb stairs.
