Assisted Hearing Devices

Assisted hearing devices (Personal P.A.) are provided to guests for free on a first-come, first-served basis during events.  To use an assisted hearing device, guests should visit the Guest Services Desk across from section 101 on the main concourse or ask a REA event staff member for assistance.  In order to check out an assisted hearing device, guests must leave a valid photo ID at the Guest Services Desk.  Upon the return of the assisted hearing device at the end of the event, the photo ID will be returned to the guest.
