ADA Credentials

MagicCon provides ADA Stickers to individuals who may have mobility, physical, vision, hearing, cognitive, psychological, or any other type of disabilities that may not be visible. An ADA sticker identifies you to Staff, Crew, and Security and indicates that you may need additional assistance.

ADA Stickers Provide:

  • A separate morning queue lane with more space and a clear entry aisle
  • Seating for panels on a first come, first serve basis. We cannot guarantee seating for everyone*
  • Separate lines in official areas of the show including the Official Show Store, Magic Meet and Greets, and the Art of Magic
  • Chairs upon request in long queues

*Guests with disabilities should plan to arrive to a panel at least 30 minutes prior to the event so that we can best accommodate you. Keep in mind that all of our events are very popular and we will make every effort to help you access the panels that are important to you.

ADA Stickers Do Not Provide:

  • Early entry to the show

Service Animals

Service animals are permitted throughout the venue. However, this does not include emotional support animals, therapy animals, or companion animals. Any animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into the venue. Only service animals that have been individually trained and are under the proper care of their owners will be allowed within the premises.

The following guidelines must be followed:

  • All service animals must be registered at the Accessibility Services Desk upon entry into the event
  • All service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered. If these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or if the handler’s disability prevents the use of these devices, the handler must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls
  • Service animals must be housebroken and should use the service animal relief area
  • Anyone bringing an animal will be responsible for and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal
  • All service animals should have legally required vaccinations (which ADA staff may ask to see for verification)

We ask that you do not leave your animal in your car while you're inside the event, as vehicles without air conditioning on may become too hot and unsafe for any animal.

If you would like to request ASL Interpretation for any performance and/or other forms of Effective Communication, please contact us at [email protected] by October 9, 2026.
