The Fillmore is a legendary historic concert hall in San Francisco’s Western Addition neighborhood, operated by Live Nation. The venue is a general admission standing ballroom and strives to be fully accessible. Accessible parking is available nearby — several public parking facilities in Japantown have designated accessible spots. The main performance floor is on the second floor of the building, reached via an elevator on the west side of the building. All venue restrooms are accessible. Service animals as defined by the ADA are welcome throughout the venue. Sign language interpretation is available upon advance request — requests must be submitted at least two weeks before the event by emailing [email protected].
The Fillmore operates as a general admission venue, meaning no special accessible ticket type is required — guests with disabilities purchase a standard general admission ticket and may contact the venue directly to arrange accommodations. Staff at the entrance are available to assist guests in finding the elevator and navigating the venue.
Visitors report that ADA seating consists of benches along the stage-right wall of the main floor, and that contacting the box office ahead of a show is advisable to arrange elevator access and receive directions. Some visitors note that sightlines from the ADA bench area can be limited when the floor is crowded with standing guests.
