Essential Companion Tickets

Guests who are approved for an Essential Companion ticket will be able to request one complimentary ticket for the person providing the support they need during their visit. (Those with the +2 symbol may request up to 2 complimentary tickets)

The Essential Companion ticket will always match the admission ticket purchased by the guest with access needs.

Once your access requirements have been approved through Nimbus, you can use your Tulleys Digital Access Pass or Access Card when booking future visits at particpating Tulleys events without having to resubmit your supporting information each time.

You may be eligible if, due to a disability or long term health condition, you cannot reasonably access or enjoy the event without the support of another person.

To qualify, your Nimbus application must be awarded the +1 or +2 (Essential Companion) symbol. Eligibility is assessed independently by Nimbus based on the information and supporting evidence you provide.

Holding benefits such as PIP, DLA or a Blue Badge does not automatically qualify for an Essential Companion ticket, as eligibility is based on your access requirements rather than a particular benefit or document.

If your application does not receive the +1 or +2 symbol, you will not be eligible for a complimentary Essential Companion ticket, although you may still qualify for other reasonable adjustments depending on your access needs.

If you already have a full Access Card or Tulleys Digital Access Pass displaying the +1 or +2 (Essential Companion) symbol, you can skip straight to Step 2.
