Titanic Belfast Tickets

Hi everyone,
Pretty disappointed the Titanic Experience is sold out this week as I've got flights booked to come over on Wednesday.
As I'm not local to Northern Ireland I wondered if anyone knew of anywhere that may be selling unwanted tickets? Even at inflated prices?

Thanks

    Thats awful. Have you tried phoning them and explaining your predicament. Had a look on gumtree but none there.

    Hope you get sorted.

    I've got flights booked to Belfast on Tuesday and I too am gutted that the Titanic Experience is sold out - I had no idea that was likely to happen :(

    If I have any luck katy-lou, I'll let you know

    Although it says sold out until Mon 16th on the main page I clicked through to the booking page and it only shows the 13th as completely unavailable. I tried Wed 11th at random and there were 2 time slots available for booking.

    Thanks for looking but I've already tried that and it doesn't allow you to actually make a booking and purchase tickets :( It says there aren't enough available even if you only try and book one ticket!

    Thanks anyway

    Really feel for both of you. Have you tried their facebook page? I would put a wanted ad on there. Surely there is someone with a pre-booking who won't be able to attend. I know if I had tickets I would offer you them in your circumstances as after all I can go any time.

    Would be worth changing this thread title in case some MSE'er can help you out.

    My friend couldn't get tickets on the website, but they were able to sort her out when she rang. Definitely worth giving them a ring and explaining your circumstances. Hope you get sorted.

    Really!..:eek: This was one of the most anticipated events surrounding the most famous ship ever built... and in it's home town, not counting it's the easter week with folk off work & school etc.....
    I hope you can find tickets but I'm not hopeful for you. I'm looking forward to my visit on Fri, can't wait....
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

    I recall listening to an interview in the run up to the grand opening and I am 90% certain they stated that some tickets would be held back to sell on the door each day so I think you may have some luck if you just turn up as early as possible on the day and ask.
