Accessibility
Danny Wimmer Presents is committed to making every effort so that our festivals are accessible to our valued fans. For Sonic Temple 2025 we are partnering with ALL IN EVENTS to bring you our Access Program.
Sonic Temple is held at Historic Crew Stadium, this is an outdoor event. At times there are great distances to traverse from the parking lots and camping to our stages.
At Sonic Temple the campgrounds and festival grounds are situated on a combination of concrete, asphalt and natural terrain.
At the main stage, Temple Stage, there will be Accessible Viewing that takes advantage of Crew Stadium’s elevated Accessible Viewing Areas within the stadium seating, a map can be found here. At our other stages, Citadel, Sanctuary & Cathedral, there will be raised accessible viewing platforms. These are designed for fans that use mobility devices to enjoy our shows.
If you have any questions at Sonic Temple, please stop by our Access Center located just inside the gates to your left. It is right next to our Info Booth and Lost & Found. Our Access Team will be able to answer any questions you have – or just stop by and say hi!

When you enter Sonic Temple, please stop by the Access Center that will be located immediately to your left upon entering.
At the Access Center our staff will be able to give you an Access Program Wristband. This wristband allows access to the Accessible Viewing Areas. It is purely to alert our staff at these areas that you have stopped by and spoken to our staff and are good to go for this area. You will still need ticket to enter Sonic Temple for General Admission, VIP, etc. There is no charge for the Access Wristband. Please note, this wristband will be issued to you and is not transferrable to another fan.
A note about the Accessible Viewing Areas:
- These areas require an Access Program wristband to enter.
- They are first come, first serve. There will be a posted maximum capacity at each area, when this capacity has been reached our staff will no longer allow additional fans into the area. Your safety is our priority. When space becomes available, we will allow additional fans into the area, again on a first come, first served basis.
- We will have chairs available at the Accessible Viewing Platforms. These chairs must stay in this area – without exception. This is for the safety of all our fans.
Sonic Temple is a General Admission event with no ticketed/assigned seating. For the safety of all fans we do not allow chairs into the venue.

Danny Wimmer Presents and ALL IN welcome all fans, including those that enjoy Sonic Temple with the use of service animal.
Danny Wimmer Presents and ALL IN DOES NOT support pets being misrepresented by their owners as trained service animals. Pets must stay at home, no exceptions. This is for the safety of all our fans and your pet. A rocking music festival is frightening and stressful for an untrained animals.
Emotional Support Animals or Therapy Animals are not considered Service Animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and therefore are not allowed into our venue.
A Service Animal is one that has been trained to perform one (or more) specific task(s) for the person with a disability that it serves.
A few notes about bringing your Service Animal to the event:
1.) When passing through the gates you will receive a short & respectful screening by a member of the Access Team. A band will then be placed on the collar or harness of your Service Animal. This band is purely a visual alert to all our staff that you have already been screened and ensure that you are not stopped and asked multiple times in the different areas of the event. This tag is only for your ease of movement throughout the festival and is not a credential to get you into the festival. You must have a ticket/wristband to enter Sonic Temple.
Please Note: You will not be asked for any documentation for your service animal however, all canine service animals (including those from out of state) must have proof of current and valid rabies vaccination on them or with their handlers at all times. Proof in the form of a tag on the canine is not adequate, handlers must have a paper copy from their veterinarian showing valid dates. You may be asked for this upon entry. This is the only documentation that you will ever be asked for by ALL IN’s Access Team. This is for the safety of all of our valued fans.
2.) Your Service Animal must always remain with you & it must be your service animal.
3.) Your Service Animal must be under your control at all times and have a collar or
harness and lead.
4.) If (for some reason) your Service Animal displays unsafe behavior of any kind, we
reserve the right to ask you to remove the animal from the festival.
5.) There will be Service Animal Relief Areas around the event. Please stop by the
Access Center for locations. Handlers are responsible for cleaning up after their Service Animal.
6.) We reserve the right to facilitate removal and/or refuse access to any animal from the campgrounds or venue if that animal is deemed to be a health or safety threat to festival fans, staff, or other service animals, or in violation of our policies.
