Carer Pass
We are excited to welcome you to EGX! EGX is for everyone, and we recognise that some people need extra assistance in order to enjoy the show.
We’ve updated our Carer Pass process with the help of experts at Nimbus – the pass is still available, but we’ve improved the process to ensure you get the support you need. We now offer a free Essential Companion (+1) pass to ticket holders who need the assistance of a carer whilst visiting the show.
If you need a ticket for your Essential Companion, please follow the updated process below before purchasing your tickets:
Already have an Access Card or a valid EGX Access Registration with the +1 symbol? Go to STEP 2!
STEP 1: Complete your MCM Access Registration via Nimbus
Once approved you will receive your registration number. Remember to keep a close eye on your emails, including your junk folder for confirmation or any requests for further info.
STEP 2: Link accounts and get an Essential Companion discount code
Now you can use your Access Card ID or Access Registration number to link your account to MCM and receive a discount code for the Essential Companion ticket. Once you enter your details, you will automatically be shown a unique code that will allow you to purchase two tickets with a 50% discount when purchasing via ShowClix.
STEP 3: Purchase tickets using the the coupon code
Select 2 tickets - one for yourself and one for your carer. Ensure these are the same ticket types so you and your carer can attend the show together. Any discrepancies may result in ticket cancellation and revocation of the carer pass.
Enter your unique coupon code in the "Have a coupon?" prompt on the second page of the checkout process. This code will apply a 50% discount to your order to ensure your carer attends free of charge.

We look forward to seeing you at EGX! If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our support team at [email protected]
Carer Credential
Approved Carer Pass holders will receive an additional piece of documentation to show security and staff upon arrival. To pick up your carer pass, head to ExCeL west pyramid entrance (not queue hall!) and simply show staff or security this unique form printed, or on your phone for entry via the door to the right of the West Entrance Pyramid instead of the Queue Hall.
Special Assistance Stickers
Our special assistance stickers will help our staff and volunteers identify and assist anyone who might require additional support at our show. Sunflower lanyards are also available for those with a hidden disability.
How do I get a sticker?
Anyone can request a special assistance sticker on-site from the Accessibility Check-In desk in the West Entrance. There’s an additional Accessibility desk in Queue Hall with a fast track entrance if required for those entering from the East Entrance, and if you’re not sure always ask a staff member who will be able to help.
How does the sticker system work?
The stickers allow access to special assistance lines for entry to the venue, special assistance queues for Main Stage panels, and additional support for autographing and photo ops.
Who is Eligible?
Individuals who require a carer plus their carer, individuals with a visible disability plus a member of their group, individuals with a hidden disability plus a member of their group.
Assistance Dogs
The Equality Act 2010, (EA2012 section 173) lays out that in relation to protecting the rights of disabled people accessing private hire transport, an Assistance dog means:
- (a) a dog which has been trained to guide a blind person;
- (b) a dog which has been trained to assist a deaf person;
- (c) a dog which has been trained by a prescribed charity to assist a disabled person who has a disability that consists of epilepsy or otherwise affects the person’s mobility, manual dexterity, physical coordination or ability to lift, carry or otherwise move everyday objects;
- (d) a dog of a prescribed category which has been trained to assist a disabled person who has a disability (other than one falling within paragraph (c)) of a prescribed kind.
To be permitted entry we will accept ANY valid form of supporting documentation.
Support Animal
Support animals may be an animal of any species that provides companionship and comfort to individuals with psychological disorders. The use MUST be supported by a qualified physician, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional based upon a disability-related need. It is your right to request the support of your animal on a day-to-day basis, but the reasonableness of this request will be decided by the venue directly.
No other dogs or pets are permitted in the venue.
Security Team
Security members in White Hi-Vis have undergone additional training to help assist with accessibility needs. While Security is here to help if you encounter issues or would like to report any unwanted behaviour, please contact us on whatsapp at +447818 988748
Report Harassment
We have a zero tolerance policy for harassment of any kind, and this applies to all attendees including our fans, partners and staff. Download the app, tap the Anti-Harassment icon and follow the steps under Report Harassment to discreetly make the EGX team aware of any incidents. If you’re still in the area where the incident took place and it’s safe to stay where you are, our security team will meet you there. If necessary, we will contact local law enforcement, provide escort, offer a safe place or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to make sure they feel safe for the rest of EGX.
