Nimbus Access Card
To help us provide the best possible service, our official ticketing partner, AXS, has collaborated with Nimbus Disability and The Access Card, a universal way of communicating your access requirements.
Nimbus Disability is a social enterprise and an organisation run by and for disabled people, and is recognised as a lead authority on accessible ticketing in the UK.
All new events going on sale at P&J Live Arena from 12th August 2026 will require a Free AXS Digital Access Pass or an Access Card in order to book accessible tickets. You just need to enter your details when prompted to unlock these options.

The physical Access Card acts as a photo ID and is a universal way to communicate your access requirements to thousands of organisations, venues, events, and ticketing systems across the UK and beyond. You can choose to upgrade to a physical Access Card during the application process, which you can carry with you and show when purchasing tickets at a number of venues around the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Access Card?
The Access Card translates your disability/impairment into symbols that highlight the barriers you face and the reasonable adjustments you might need.
This then informs providers quickly and discreetly about the support you need and may gain you access to things like concessionary ticket prices and complex reasonable adjustments without having to go further into your personal details.
It’s all based on your rights under the Equality Act and providers’ responsibilities.
For more information, check out the Access Card website, https://www.accesscard.org.uk/
- Why is the process changing, and how does this benefit me?
Once your Access Card is registered, guests will be able to book tickets online directly from the AXS website.
The system offers greater privacy, as disabled people with access requirements will no longer need to carry supporting documents or explain their circumstances to staff. You'll only need to supply the information once when you register for an Access Card or Digital Access Pass with Nimbus, and both schemes last for 3 years.
- Who is Nimbus?
We've chosen to pass the registration scheme to the same organisation that runs the 'Access Card'. Nimbus Disability is a Social Enterprise and an organisation run by and for disabled people, and is recognised as a lead authority on accessible ticketing in the UK.
When you register, Nimbus Disability will handle all your information securely and safely, without us ever having cause to see the details behind why you need accessible seating and ticketing options.
Once you've registered, Nimbus will then provide you with a unique ID number on your Digital Access Pass, which you can then use to unlock access ticketing options in our system.
If you are not able to use online forms and would be unable, because of the nature of your impairment, to access online sales, you do still need to register. Nimbus will be able to assist with telephone registration on 0330 808 5108.
For more information, please see their FAQs at https://www.accesscard.online/
