Service Animals

ADA defined service animals are welcome inside PPL Center but must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times. During your time of purchase please inform the ticket representative that you intend to bring a service animal so an aisle seat may be reserved in your transaction. The animal must stay out of walkways as to not hinder any ingress or egress of patrons.

Sign Language Interpreters
-
PPL Center will make available the use of sign language interpreters. Because sign language interpreter requests typically require two weeks advance notice of a ticketed event for scheduling purposes, requests for an interpreter should be made as far in advance of the event as possible. To make such a request, please contact us at 484-273-4490.

Unannounced Patrons
-
Patrons needing accessible seating at the time of an event will be directed to Guest Services for the availability of such seating, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no guarantee that accessible seating will be available at the time of the event.
