Alcatraz Ticket Facts
Alcatraz Cruises is the official concessionaire of the National Park Service providing ferry service to and from Alcatraz Island.
To do the Alcatraz Tour, you need an Alcatraz Cruises ticket.
We are an authorized third party reseller. Check to see if Alcatraz Cruises is sold out of tickets. If they are, we may still have those same Alcatraz tour tickets for resale.
DiscoverTown Tours is an Official Tour and Travel Partner of Alcatraz Cruises.
- Check the Alcatraz Cruises website for availability.
- If they are sold out, come back here to DiscoverTown.com and we may still have tickets.
The Alcatraz tickets we sell are for the round trip ferry plus the 11-language Cellhouse Audio Tour.
We sell Alcatraz Day Tours and Alcatraz Night Tours as part of a tour package
- We are a way to get tickets that are otherwise sold out.
- We typically have tickets for Alcatraz Tours during peak periods – from May to September… plus Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays. Alcatraz tickets often sell out fast, sometimes weeks in advance during peak periods.
- We usually have night tours every month, except for July and August. We buy Alcatraz tickets in advance from Alcatraz Cruises for resale, and we receive a limited number of tickets for each month.
- If we have tickets in our inventory on our site, these are guaranteed. If we don’t have tickets, the date won’t be listed or an error message will appear if you choose a quantity greater than what we have.
We operate under the rules of the National Park Service and Alcatraz Cruises. We are required to resell Alcatraz as part of a combination Alcatraz tour package.
Many of our guests find that the second part of the combination, such as the hop-on-hop-off bus tour, is a very pleasant surprise -- beating expectations and making for happy customers. You get to see more of San Francisco… which is a very good thing!
