SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - On Feb. 24, the Sacramento Kings in collaboration with Ticketmaster and OneCourt announced an innovative way for blind and low vision fans to experience live basketball action at Golden 1 Center. Beginning immediately and continuing through the NBA 2024-25 regular season, One Court’s haptic display will be available at all home games, free of charge, allowing fans to feel the game in real time.

OneCourt devices will be available for checkout at Guest Services, located near Section 109 and 207, on a first-come, first-served basis. Five devices will be available at each home game, expanding access to this groundbreaking technology and ensuring more fans can engage with the action in an inclusive way.

This cutting-edge technology converts live game action into audio and trackable vibrations, allowing users to follow plays with their fingertips.

The Kings worked closely with the NBA to integrate OneCourt with the league’s live gameplay tracking system, ensuring fans receive real-time updates through the device’s intuitive interface.

“At the Kings, we are committed to making live sports more accessible and inclusive for all fans,” said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. “Partnering with Ticketmaster to make OneCourt technology available at Golden 1 Center allows us to deliver an innovative, real-time experience that ensures Blind and Low Vision fans can feel the excitement of every play.”
