As I understand the legal requirement is to make reasonable effort to provide facilities. The provision of an interpreter at no extra charge for interpreting the main group's songs is, in my opinion, beyond that limit already.
It's not like a cinema where a recorded tape is simply passed to all places at once and played. This is an interactive task to do with a show that can change direction any moment.
Regardless whether the mother is after a big payout for herself or hoping to change the rules to make unreasonable demands on concert producers it is still wrong. And may have unfortunate consequences.

"so people in a wheelchair should be able to say go rock climbing and the providers of those experiences will get sued if they cannot make that happen?"

sqad, a lot of ifs and buts there, what of they refuse the disabled on grounds of practicality?
JTT, this is nothing more than an ever more common response from an attention seeker demanding the world mould itself to them. It is only machinations like yours and others that let them get away with it. If you are mutton then it's obvious that you are not going to get much out of a concert, simples.
