1) How Alcatraz Tickets Work

All entry tickets ride the official ferry from Pier 33. Your QR is scanned at boarding for timed access.

  • Official operator: Ferries depart Pier 33 (SF waterfront). Follow the meeting point on your voucher.
  • Timed slots: Choose a departure; you may return on any regular ferry unless noted on your ticket.
  • Mobile e-tickets: Keep screen brightness high; have ID ready if requested.

2) Picking a Time: Day vs Night

Day tickets offer more choice; night tickets are limited and atmospheric with smaller capacities.

  • Daytime: More departures and daylight views; good for families and photos.
  • Evening/Night: Fewer guests, special ranger talks/demos; sells out first.
  • Tip: For calmer boarding, pick first or last departures of the day.

3) What’s Included (and What Isn’t)

Most tickets include the ferry, island admission, and the Cellhouse Audio Tour. Food and luggage storage aren’t available.

  • Included: Round-trip ferry + island entry; audio tour in multiple languages on many options.
  • Not included: Food service on the island; large luggage/coolers are not permitted.
  • Add-ons: Some ticket bundles include city transport or cruises—see each product page.

4) Booking Windows & Sell-Outs

Alcatraz is capacity-controlled. Popular dates can sell out days ahead, especially nights and weekends.

  • Reserve early: Aim 3–7+ days ahead for peak periods and holidays.
  • Flexible policies: Many tickets allow free cancellation up to 24h—check the fine print.
  • Last-minute: Look for same-week openings early morning or late afternoon.

5) Accessibility & Mobility

Alcatraz has steep grades. An accessible tram (SEAT) assists on the main route—ask staff at the dock.

  • Paths & hills: Surfaces can be uneven. Wear sturdy shoes and plan extra time.
  • Accessible tram: The SEAT tram runs part-time on core routes; availability varies by day.
  • Facilities: Restrooms near the dock and designated areas on the island.

6) Changes, Cancellations & ID

Use your confirmation link to modify when allowed. Bring government ID if required by your ticket.

  • Edits: Some products allow date/time changes before departure—rules vary by option.
  • Refunds: Many allow free cancellation up to 24h; missed ferries are usually non-refundable.
  • ID checks: Lead traveler name may be verified—match your booking details to your ID.

7) Day-of Tips for Ticket Holders

Arrive 30 minutes early, travel light, and dress for wind. Keep your QR ready at Pier 33.

  • Check-in: Reach Pier 33 early for boarding and security lines; brightness up for QR scan.
  • Weather: Bay winds can be chilly year-round—layer up for decks and island paths.
  • Bags: Small daypacks are fine; large bags/coolers aren’t permitted on tours.
