Accessibility

Danny Wimmer Presents is committed to making every effort so that our festivals are accessible to our valued fans. For Inkcarceration2025 we are partnering with ALL IN EVENTS to bring you our Access Program.
 
INKcaceration held at The Ohio State Reformatory is an outdoor event. At times there are great distances to traverse from the parking lots and camping to our stages.
The campgrounds and festival grounds are situated on a combination of concrete, asphalt and natural terrain.
 
There will be an elevated viewing area at the main stages for our fans with mobility disabilities. The Access Center with ALL IN’s trained staff will be set up inside the Reformatory Road entrance to answer all questions, provide wristbands for the viewing platforms, and additional services listed below. 
 
 At the main stage, Temple Stage, there will be Accessible Viewing that takes advantage of Crew Stadium’s elevated Accessible Viewing Areas within the stadium seating, a map can be found here. ALL IN will also have staff members available at the Concierge tent inside the VIP Area.

ALL IN’s Renew You™ for patrons who are neurodivergent. This is an area that is low-stimulus to take a moment to re-regulate and then rejoin all the action at Inkcarceration.
When you enter the festival grounds, visit the access center located inside the Reformatory Road entrance to obtain a wristband allowing access to the dedicated viewing area. All passes to the festival are General Admission or VIP, purchasing an accessible ticket is not necessary. The Accessible Viewing Area is located in GA sections.
 
At the Access Center our staff will be able to give you an Access Program Wristband. This wristband allows access to the Accessible Viewing Areas. It is purely to alert our staff at these areas that you have stopped by and spoken to our staff and are good to go for this area. You will still need ticket to enter Inkcarceration General Admission, VIP, etc. There is no charge for the Access Wristband. Please note, this wristband will be issued to you and is not transferrable to another fan.
 
 A note about the Accessible Viewing Areas:
  • These areas require an Access Program wristband to enter.
  • They are first come, first serve. There will be a posted maximum capacity at each area, when this capacity has been reached our staff will no longer allow additional fans into the area. Your safety is our priority. When space becomes available, we will allow additional fans into the area, again on a first come, first served basis.
  • We will have chairs available at the Accessible Viewing Platforms. These chairs must stay in this area – without exception. This is for the safety of all our fans.
 
Inkcarceration is a general admission event with no assigned seating and does not allow lawn chairs due to capacity restraints. Exceptions can only be made for a medical necessity. Please email to access@inkcarceration.com to make this request.
 
For our fans that use an ASL Interpreter to enjoy the shows at Inkcarceration, please stop by the Access Center to get information about viewing areas. Highly visible signage will be posted with the ASL Interpreting symbol for our fans to locate the interpreters.
 
 If you have any questions, please contact our Accessibility Director via email, access@inkcaceration.com

As is the case for any of our Accessible Viewing areas, an ASL Interpreter Viewing Area wristband is required to enter this area, to get your ASL Interpreter Viewing Area wristband stop by the Access Center. The ASL Interpreter Viewing Area, like all our other Accessible Viewing Areas is first come, first serve. There will be a posted maximum capacity, when this capacity is reached our staff will no longer allow additional fans into the area. Your safety is our priority. With this in mind we ask our fans to be mindful with their companion.
The campgrounds and festival grounds are a combination of concrete, asphalt and natural terrain. We have done our best to accommodate for mud, branches, roots and dramatic inclines but they do still exist. Please be safe, and use common sense when traversing the grounds. ALL IN will have staff at the Access Center in the camping area and the venue to provide information about routes and terrain.
 
Danny Wimmer Presents and ALL IN EVENTS does not provide personal care, push services or wheelchair rental at any of our events.
 
Manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and three or four-wheeled scooters are allowed only for use by fans with mobility disabilities. For safety reasons, please note that guests may not use personal golf carts, all terrain vehicles, two wheeled scooters, or power driven mobility devices that move faster than a walking speed.
 
Mobility device charging will be available at the Access Center. Fans should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.

All bathrooms inside the Reformatory are built in compliance with ADA accessibility requirements.
DWP and ALL IN welcome all fans, including those that enjoy Inkcarceration with the use of service animal.
 
DWP and ALL IN DOES NOT support pets being misrepresented by their owners as trained service animals. Pets must stay at home, no exceptions. This is for the safety of all our fans and your pet. A rocking music festival is frightening and stressful for an untrained animals.
 
Emotional Support Animals or Therapy Animals are not considered Service Animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and therefore are not allowed into our venue.
 
A Service Animal is one that has been trained to perform one (or more) specific task(s) for the person with a disability that it serves.
 
 
A few notes about bringing your Service Animal to the event:
  • When passing through the gates you will receive a short & respectful screening by a member of the Access Team. A band will then be placed on the collar or harness of your Service Animal. This band is purely a visual alert to all our staff that you have already been screened and ensure that you are not stopped and asked multiple times in the different areas of the event. This tag is only for your ease of movement throughout the festival and is not a credential to get you into the festival. You must have a ticket/wristband to enter Inkcarceration.
 
Please Note: You will not be asked for any documentation for your service animal however, all canine service animals (including those from out of state) must have proof of current and valid rabies vaccination on them or with their handlers at all times. Proof in the form of a tag on the canine is not adequate, handlers must have a paper copy from their veterinarian showing valid dates. You may be asked for this upon entry. This is the only documentation that you will ever be asked for by ALL IN’s Access Team. This is for the safety of all of our valued fans.
 
  • Your Service Animal must always remain with you & it must be your service animal.
  • Your Service Animal must be under your control at all times and have a collar or
 harness and lead.
  •  If (for some reason) your Service Animal displays unsafe behavior of any kind, we
 reserve the right to ask you to remove the animal from the festival.
  •  There will be Service Animal Relief Areas around the event. Please stop by the
 Access Center for locations. Handlers are responsible for cleaning up after their Service Animal.
  •  We reserve the right to facilitate removal and/or refuse access to any animal from the campgrounds or venue if that animal is deemed to be a health or safety threat to festival fans, staff, or other service animals, or in violation of our policies.

Inkcarceration is a rain or shine event, however, there are instances in which we would pause, evacuate or cancel the show due to severe weather, including (but not limited to): lightning, thunderstorms, high winds, hail, flooding, or as directed by local emergency personnel.

In the event of a evacuation due to severe weather, fans who drove to the event will seek shelter in their vehicles. Fans who are camping will return to the campground via shuttle and seek shelter either in their vehicle or a designated shelter location. Fans who arrived via Rideshare or do not have access to a vehicle will be instructed to shelter in place in the Reformatory. Fans will be informed of any emergency situation via audio and video announcements from the stages, the INK App push notifications and social media. We recommend fans download the INK app and follow our socials to stay up-to-date with festival communication.

In the event of an evacuation, staff will provide direction to fans. Access Center staff will be available to assist fans with disabilities. More information on evacuation procedures will be available on the festival map and at the Access Center.
