We were at the same concert on Labor Day. We drove and parked in the upper south lot. There was an accessible shuttle, took us right to the entrance for the front row. It was a great concert. It was a little loud sitting in the front row. I had to turn off my hearing aids, lol
I attempted to go to Red Rocks in May of 2022 and ran into a similar transportation issue. I was there for a corporate event and the final celebration evening was held at Red Rocks. An accessible charter bus had been requested by my company to accomodate me and of course the lift did NOT work. I was extremely discouraged as I am a music venue fan plus this was an important leadership networking event. I was unable to attend as there were no alternative options. Even travel to and from the airport was difficult to arrange and cost a fortune - I understand there is accessible public transportation but when you are in a wheelchair and have luggage etc...its not always feasible to pop on a bus or train. I won't be planning another visit there based on my negative experience.
I love Red Rocks! It's definitely an experience. The last time I went I wasn't in a wheelchair yet and could walk, even in heels! I want to go back and your article in encouraging. I'm leaving for Curacao next week. I'm worried about my chair. Fingers crossed we don't run into any major issues! They have brought it up with parts missing every time I've flown. This time I'm removing everything that can come off and carrying it in a duffle bag on the plane. My chair is a Whill F1 and I can check it at the gate. They must not secure it at all and it gets bounced around like crazy. I wish I could take it on the plane.
