Climate Pledge Arena is committed to full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and providing equal access to an enjoyable event experience for everyone in our community.

Please review the Accessibility Guide for more information on accessible services, programs and policies for our guests with disabilities.

1. What is Amazon One?
Amazon One is a fast, convenient, contactless way for people to use their palm to enter, identify, and pay. The service is highly secure and uses custom-built algorithms and hardware to create a person’s unique palm signature that simplifies a range of tasks from payment to access.

2. How do I use Amazon One?
Amazon One is very easy to use and takes less than a minute to enroll. Once registered, each time a fan wants to use Amazon One to enter, identify, and pay at one of the four Just Walk Out technology-enabled stores in Climate Pledge Arena, they’ll just hover their palm over the device for about a second or so to enter, and be able to pick what they need in store, and then leave. It’s that simple!
Trained service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are welcome at Climate Pledge Arena. Service animals must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times, unless special circumstances exist, and are required to rest in the seating area of the guest with the disability, rather than the aisle.

All other animals, pets, and wildlife are prohibited.

Animal relief areas can be accessed by exiting through the East Main Entrance on the Upper Concourse. Please see a Guest Services Representative for exit and re-entry.
