Recently on 4.14.2024, my son and I took my father to the last season game for the Orlando Magic and Fan Appreciation Day. My father isn’t 100% mobile and requires a scooter to move around. I had a very difficult time purchasing tickets online for this event because there were extremely limited options for handicapped seating and there was repeatedly no answer when calling the box office for assistance. I finally purchased three tickets in Section 109A that I thought would work best for my dad; however, when we arrived, I realized that there were additional steps that he would have to climb before taking steps to go down to our seats and there was also no mention anywhere on the website of having to park or store handicap equipment with guest services in Section 112. I want to point out that the attendant checking tickets at this section was amazing. She suggested that I go to the box office and see if any handicapped accommodations could be made. My dad and son went and purchased food while I went down to the box office. The attendant there was equally amazing. I showed her my current tickets and explained my situation. She asked me a few security questions and then provided me with a seating change. The change in seating was to Section 115 in a completely handicapped-accessible section that allowed my father to stay in his scooter the entire time. This section on your website does not show as handicapped nor did it show as available when I purchased tickets, yet it was empty during the game. Everything worked out and my father had a great time. I unfortunately didn’t get either attendant's name, but they were both extremely helpful and their customer service was incredible; however, although everything worked out for us at this event, I do want to point out that I don’t feel like your website is very accommodating to people with handicaps and need assistance. I’m hopeful that this may provide some feedback for a review of how this can be improved for future events. Thank you for your time.

The Orlando Magic make their home in the Amway Center, a gleaming, world-class arena that affords fans amenities such as ample seat space, excellent sight lines, spacious concourses, and unique food and drink options. Having opened in 2010 and notable for its 180-foot tower that serves as a beacon on the downtown skyline, the Amway Center upon its opening boasted the largest scoreboard in the NBA, measuring 42 feet, weighing 40 tons and offering spectacular high-definition imagery.

Orlando Magic History
Joining the NBA in the expansion that also included the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1989, the Magic struggled for three years until picking center Shaquille O'Neal first in the 1992 draft. The Magic finished at .500 in the 1992-93 season, barely missing the playoffs. Then, with only a slim chance in the 1993 draft lottery, the team won the rights to pick No. 1 again. They used their selection, Chris Webber, in a trade to obtain guard Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway and future picks. The duo led the Magic to 50 wins in the 1993-94 season and then 57 victories as well as a trip to the NBA Finals the following year, just the franchise's sixth in the NBA.
In the 1995-96 season, the Magic won a franchise-record 60 games during O'Neal's last season in Orlando. They made it to the Eastern Conference finals against the Chicago Bulls.
Over the next 10 years, the Magic made the playoffs five times. The 2006-07 season saw Orlando start a run of six consecutive postseason appearances, as star center Dwight Howard blossomed and the Magic surrounded him with young talent and savvy veterans.
The Magic reached the second round of the playoffs in 2008 behind Howard and forwards Hidayet "Hedo" Türkoğlu and Rashard Lewis. The following season, with trade acquisition Rafer Alston filling in for injured point guard Jameer Nelson, the team won 59 games and defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics and the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. It earned the Magic a second trip to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.
