The venue also has three free accessible parking spaces on Sorinkatu; paid accessible parking is available at Aimo Park Arena.
Accessibility
All arena floors are accessible by lift, with an accessible entrance between entrances A and B and 31 wheelchair spaces in blocks A1, A2, B1, and B2.

Tips & Advice
- Leave the car at home and take the tram or train, because the arena has no parking of its own and the railway station is about five minutes' walk.
- Book a wheelchair-plus-companion ticket if you use a wheelchair, since the companion seats are right behind the wheelchair spaces in blocks A1, A2, B1 and B2.
- Bring your own lifting harness if you'll need the accessible restrooms with ceiling lifts, because the arena does not supply one.
- If you book a VIP package, send special diets and drink pre-orders to the restaurant ahead of time, and pre-order the vegetarian option for VIP Stefan's.
- Choose automatic seat booking if you use assistive technology, because the seating-plan booking isn't fully accessible to it.

- VIP Stefan's package (separate ticket): separate entrance, three-course served menu, free cloakroom and seats in the best places in the stand.
- VIP Eventum package (separate ticket): separate entrance, buffet before the concert, coffee and dessert at the interval, and free cloakroom.
