Alcatrez sold out
 

Alcatrez is sold out but the combo/Angel Island is still available. I'm traveling with 4 people (one disabled person) and don't have the 5 hours to spare. Is it possible to just go to Alcatrez with that ticket? They all really want to go and I don't see any other way around it.

Alcatraz...

Spell check? Thanks!

That would not work for you. Not only does the tour take 6 hours total -- you get no choice as to which site you visit first. So even if you only want the Alcatraz portion it might not fit in your 5 hour window, you wouldn't know if it did until after you book, and there are no cancellations.

Have you looked at other resellers, some combine things like a hop on hop off bus tour or pass which is spearate from Alcatraz, or a tour of the Ferry Building. They will be much shorter than Angel island and Alcatraz.

I have looked at resellers but can't seem to find ones that just go to Alcatraz.

As SAB mentioned - they mostly combine it with something else. If you don't have the time for a combo tour you are likely out of luck.

As far as I know there are no resellers that only sell Alcatraz tix--the whole point is to make money by combining tix with something else. If you must get tix, the best bet therefore is to combine with something short, or something that you can use independently. IMHO The worst choice would be the Angel Island/Alcatraz combo.

BTW I am not touting resellers, I just happen to know a fair amount about this because I have a client that has a contract for Alcatraz tix, which it then bundles for certain resellers.

I don't get Alcatraz, I'm sorry, though no criticism of those who do.

The ferry to Tiburon and the ferry to Sausalito have beautiful views, and both towns are lovely places to visit (and eat) when you arrive.

Maybe I'll go get a lottery ticket so I can buy a house in Tiburon when I win. It's the kind of place you will want to move to.
