| Comment | A temporary injury isn't, however, a disability (in the legal sense), and there's no requirement for accessibility arrangements to cover such cases.
That might seem like a shitty distinction, but it is the legal one: the problem (especially bigger) venues have is that people can and do abuse any latitude - suddenly *everyone's* grandad has a fall which just so happens to get them cheap seats with a decent view. This is the reason a lot of venues explicitly don't allow temporary injuries as a valid reason for accessing disabled seating.
However, as you say, most places would then use their discretion and give you access in person once they can see you're not taking the piss. |
