What is companion seats?

Companion seats are seats designed to accommodate companions or caregivers of people with disabilities or individuals who need assistance during events or activities such as theaters, concert halls, sports arenas, or movie theaters. Companion seats are typically placed next to seats designed for people with disabilities and have no armrest or divider between them, allowing for easy transfer of the individual from their wheelchair or mobility device to the companion seat. Companion seats may be reserved in advance, and some venues may require proof of disability or special needs certification from the companion or individual to access these seats. Additionally, companion seats may be available at a discounted rate or complimentary for companions or caregivers.
