FanProof verdictBloomington BCPA’s accessible entrance and box office are at the southeast corner beneath the lighted awning. Its own FAQ permits children age two and under on a lap without a ticket; a separate seat needs one. Ticketmaster lists a stricter rule, so confirm your performance’s terms with the box office before using that exception. Late seating depends on the artist or house; arrange accessibility needs when booking.
