Wheelchair Supporters:
For the 2013/14 season, wheelchair spaces are available to home supporters in Block AL in the West Paddock, Block GL in the East Paddock and Block X in the Ellerslie Road Stand. Wheelchair supporters are eligible for the discounted disabled concession (the same as the Senior concessionary rate) and are able to bring an accompanying carer free of charge. In order to be eligible for the discounted disabled concession and free carer, the QPR Box Office requires 'proof of a disability', which must be provided annually. The following are accepted:
- Receipt of the middle or higher rate of the Disability Living Allowance (mobility or care component)
- Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance
- A personal letter from your GP
NB: Receipt of an Orange / Blue badge will not be considered sufficient proof of disability for the concessionary ticket price.
Ambulant Supporters:
Under the 2013/14 pricing structure, ambulant supporters are able to purchase tickets in any area of the ground, provided there are no health and safety issues. However, if they buy tickets in the Gold, Silver and Bronze areas of the ground, they will be eligible to receive the discounted ambulant concession (the same as the Senior concessionary rate) and, if required, are able to bring an accompanying carer free of charge.

Impaired Vision - Soccer Sight:
Have you ever thought how difficult it would be for you to attend a football match if you couldn't see the pitch or follow the action? How much do you take it for granted that you can sit anywhere you like with your mates or family, travel to away games, read the programme or simply buy a pie at half-time?
For many thousands of blind and partially sighted people, these simple activities become major issues that they have to cope with every matchday.
Soccer Sight is an initiative from Action for Blind People, which has been designed to address these issues and provide solutions for clubs across the country.
The project, which is supported by the HBOS Foundation, V and the Football Foundation, is being launched at QPR FC providing the Club with a pool of trained voluntary commentators and ten new radio headsets. These will allow blind fans to sit anywhere within the Gold, Silver or Bronze areas of stadium to receive the commentary.
If you are blind or have a sight problem, sign up for this great new service at the Club today. Please contact Fiona Hodgson on
0208 740 2520 or
fionah@qpr.co.uk.
Please note, eligibility for the impaired vision concession requires proof of disability as described above or each person can provide a copy of their registration document which certifies they are Registered Blind or Registered Partially Sighted, or provide qualifying documentation from their optician equivalent to registration requirements.
Disabled ticket prices for 2013/14 will be announced in due course.
Fans registered with the Club as disabled are eligible to bring a carer free of charge if required. The quoted prices are for Disabled Adults, Seniors Over 60 and Young Adults 16-21 only. Disabled Juniors Under-16 and Kids Under-8 supporters pay the standard concession price and are entitled to a free helper.
