I did find it crazy myself, she is after paper time or money otherwise.
This is setting a very dangerous precedent. It would be completely impractical to provide this at the Dog and Duck where a band are playing to 30 people. Who decides where the limit should be? Is it 100 people, 200, 1000?
This stuff can be a minefield. We have got a hearing aid induction loop at the church I play at, but we have to turn it off during the music because it gets picked up by single coil guitar pickups, and you get horrible howling feedback. So far it's not been an issue, but potentially someone could make trouble over it.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youOr do those in wheelchairs simply accept that rock climbing, in the main, probably isn’t the most practical hobby?
I'm not sure that proves anything, but I've no shortage of clients.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIt's a difficult question, the one about where to "draw the line". "Reasonable adjustments" can take on all sorts of different meanings depending on your perspective.
All I can say is don't be too quick to judge if you yourself are lucky enough to not have to deal with disability day in and day out. It's not that much fun.
i dont think anyone is judging, i know i certainly am not, but they way she has put her side across, she asked for, and recieved an interpretor for the littlemix show,afterwards she has complained that she didnt get for the support acts, it doesnt look to me that she requested that
"We consulted with her recommended agency and agreed to provide the professional interpreter of her choice for the Little Mix show."This included specific staging and lighting, and a set list in advance."LHG Live also provided upgraded tickets, access to private accessible toilets and all public announcements on giant screens either side of the main stage.
But seeing this article has filled me with rage. For her to turn around and say that they haven’t taken reasonable steps to cater to her needs is beyond belief!
I absolutely get that, having had several family members and friends with disabilities.
It’s this specific trend of faux outrage that really winds me up.
From the article:
"We consulted with her recommended agency and agreed to provide the professional interpreter of her choice for the Little Mix show.
"This included specific staging and lighting, and a set list in advance."
LHG Live also provided upgraded tickets, access to private accessible toilets and all public announcements on giant screens either side of the main stage.
How can she in good conscience turn around and say that reasonable steps weren’t taken to accommodate her requirements? It sounds like they weren’t very understanding during the initial request for an interpreter - and that’s not good - but it sounds like by the time of the concert they’d taken a lot of action to make sure she had a good time.
On a lighter note, fair play to anyone that can ‘interpret’ that absolute dirge
