"Ferry crossings for TT Festival 2017
Ferry crossings for 2017's TT Festival will become available to book from Monday, 30th May 2016.

As in previous years, we expect that it will be possible to secure bookings for the 2017 TT period by paying a deposit, with the final fare amount being confirmed by the ferry operator during December 2016.

Once the ferries for this period go on sale, you should be able to book your trip online at www.manxferries.com, although as the websites can get very busy and experience disruption when bookings first open you may prefer to call us on telephone 01624 654 081.

We strongly recommend booking early as ferry crossings during this period always sell out quickly.

Please don't hesitate to in touch with us if you have any queries. "

Wow what a complete ball ache. From 8:30 it took 7 hours and over 300 calls and website attempts to book. I got through on the phone about 2:30 then was cut off whilst sorting times.

Missing both Superbike races because ferries sold out but I'll be there Mad Sunday to Thursday. For all the money Steam Packet make they should have a website that isnt total bloody rubbish.

It's done now though (yay!) and there is the added bonus of lapping the Southern 100 circuit.

Think we paid 270 for a bike last year and almost 400 for the car.

'Worth' paying a little more the nice premium lounge upgrade

I take it you got a cancellation then?, is it a case of just keep trying closer to the time and wait for the right dates.
I'm still waiting to get paid for a job and likely when i get paid all tickets will be gone for next year

We took the view that if you want to go, then you get whatever you can get on whatever dates you can get it and the rest of life just has to slot in around it.

if you miss out on the main accomodation - wait for Homestay to be announced, we did it and it was something we'd do again in preference to a hotel - the locals are beyond welcoming

A friend of my mate's folks live on the island, he was saying you can pitch up tents at the football ground for cheapness?

we booked for the race week again next year

steam racket took the deposit money from 4 of us (£50 each), while at the TT this year we were trying to change our return ferry from Liverpool to Heysham, upon enquiring we were asked

'why have you not booked for next year lads' turns out steam packet had not taken the money and had not made our booking

so we have got practice week and return home monday night, we will see upto Monday racing!! Absoloutley gutted is an understatement to say the least!

BUT we are going again next year!



shocking fares for the crossing considering we paid 29£ return for the NW200 leave saturday morning and return saturday night
