A survey has been published to gauge the opinion of disabled people on the current practices in terms of ‘proof of disability’ requirements when purchasing disabled fans match tickets for national and international sporting events.
The survey forms parts of a research project being undertaken by the European-wide charity, Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE) in association with the German Sports Institute of Cologne.
It is expected that the outcomes of the project, which is funded by the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport, Council of Europe, will provide conclusive recommendations to assist international sporting event owners in delivering an improved ticketing system for both disabled sports fans and tournament operators in the future.
The survey is available in English, French, German, Polish, Russian and Spanish – please click on your preferred language to open the relevant version. Please circulate the survey amongst your fellow fans and colleagues and please be sure to complete the survey before 17.00 (CET) by 1st October 2013.
