Fans interested in using the space may check-in with our Guest Services centers, located outside of Sections 112 and 212.

Service animals are welcome at Barclays Center. In keeping with ADA regulations, disabled guests may use either a dog or miniature horse that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the guest. The work or tasks performed by the service animal must be directly related to the guest's disability. As such, animals that solely provide emotional support or companionship to a guest will not be permitted inside Barclays Center. Please contact our Guest Services Department if any accommodations are required, by emailing guestservices@barclayscenter.com.
