Riyadh, October 22, 2024 – In a significant step toward enhancing inclusivity, Riyadh Season 2024 will provide free entry to senior citizens aged 60 and older for its various entertainment areas. This initiative was announced by Turki bin Abdul Mohsen Al Al-Shikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), as part of broader efforts to make the festival accessible to all members of society.
Seniors can gain access to select entertainment areas by presenting the "Tawakkalna" application at designated entry points. The areas included in this offer are "Boulevard World," "Boulevard Runway," and "Wonder Garden." In addition, seniors will have complimentary access to popular free-entry locations such as "Riyadh Zoo," "Al-Suwaidi Park," and "Souq Al-Awaleen." Notably, they will also be able to enjoy "Boulevard City" and "VIA Riyadh" without needing prior tickets, ensuring that a wide array of experiences is readily available.
However, it is essential to note that this complimentary entry does not extend to events that feature reserved seating, such as concerts, theatrical performances, boxing matches, or special experiences. These events will require separate ticket purchases, maintaining the need for organized arrangements for high-demand attractions.
This initiative reflects Riyadh Season's ongoing commitment to ensuring that all segments of society, particularly senior citizens, can partake in the diverse offerings available throughout the season. By prioritizing accessibility for older generations, Riyadh Season aims to foster memorable and inclusive experiences for everyone, encouraging community engagement and participation.
Riyadh Season has become a hallmark of entertainment in Saudi Arabia, showcasing a vibrant array of cultural, artistic, and recreational activities. The decision to provide free access for seniors is not only a testament to the authority's dedication to inclusivity but also serves as a reminder of the importance of creating environments where all individuals, regardless of age, can enjoy the rich tapestry of experiences that the season has to offer.
As Riyadh continues to evolve into a dynamic cultural hub, initiatives like this play a crucial role in ensuring that the spirit of community and inclusiveness is woven into the fabric of its entertainment landscape. By catering to the needs of older generations, Riyadh Season reaffirms its position as a welcoming and accessible celebration for all.
