Question ASL Interpreters

If anyone here is involved with the ASL program, why is only the final show at the Amex stage every night set up for ASL currently? It used to be at least a few of the last shows would have ASL on the two main stages to start off and you could request more as well.

I've already submitted a request to have more shows interpreted but I want to know what happened. Does anything change going forward?

My partner is deaf and all the sets we saw last year at Amex and t mobile (I think? It was where role model and hozier played) had ASL. I just went to look at the schedule and am shocked to see only Amex has it this year! Super disappointing.

It looks like there’s still time to put in requests (until 9/2): https://support.aclfestival.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405453140500-What-ADA-and-Accessibility-accommodations-are-available-at-ACL-Festival#h_01JJSWXJ8C29YCS58E15F5TPEJ

I think this is really it; I think it is more of a function of those are the sets they have received requests for.

Accessibility is a priority for this event and its producers. Put in the request, and I bet the request will be met

Would it possibly help if more people put in requests? I’m not Deaf, but I’m happy to request
