2017 Classic TT/Manx GP.

Just tried booking to go, no joy! All ferries booked up. That's the trouble waiting for people to make their minds up.

 

it looks like the Classic is getting busier every year..soon be a year in advance for booking

 

Watch the Guy Martin documentary on riding a motor cycle on water.
Wouldn't it be great riding past the ferries into dock.

 

Do they bump up the price of the ferries like they do during the TT?

 

Went last year and it was a great event. Found it was slightly cheaper putting both mine and the mrs's bike in my work Transit custom van and just bought the one van ferry ticket.
We camped very comfortably as we took everything you could possibly need.

 

I managed to get to the manx last year.Booked as soon as the tickets came out for the Classic this year and all of the hotels in Douglas were sold out immediately.

Camped at union mills for the TT in 2013 great site and I would go again.Trouble is my wife won't do camping so we managed to book a hotel for next year's classic near the airport.

ebay and Gumtree usually have tickets for sale as travellers plans inevitabley change closer to the event.

I booked my ferry for this year the morning they opened the booking on-line last May. It took me 3 hrs to do it. It takes ages to actually get a response from the booking page and then it crashed twice part way through my booking. By the time I booked all the Liverpool and Birkenhead ferrys were gone so I'm going from Heysham. My wife tried phone I got while I was online but all she got was the engaged tone.

 

I've never been, but is it possible to charter a small craft and share the cost ?
I've known some of my mates charter a small aircraft in the past.

 

I believe the best way to get what you want is to go to the ticket office in either the IOM or Liverpool in person. Not very practical for me.
