Is anybody else trying to book the ferry for 2015 TT?
Steam packet phone lines have been engaged all day! I was trying for 2hrs non stop. I gave up after that!
Plus the website can't process the order as it's "busy"
It's a little frustrating!
I've never booked / been but I thought that ferry tickets only became available in November of the previous year and cancellations available in February of the same year, or something like that!?

The website says today is the first day to reserve tickets

Yup, was a proper PITA this morning - website wasn't working and I ended up dialling non stop for 2 hours (was permanently engaged) before finally getting in the queue to speak to someone, took 40 mins to get through! They really need a more robust booking system for the TT spike in demand.... I can only recommend keep on trying the phone line, got booked eventually!
I did mine at 08:30/08:45 this morning, looks like I got lucky..tried website it was f
ked so I rang them on the 01624 661661 number got straight through no issue at all, got the crossings I want staying 7 days instead of my usual 5 too...very lucky/happy.
Email confirmation came through within mins of hanging up too.
4 sleeps until I head up for TT2014 (my 14th visit to the TT)....can't wait.

Do the B&B prices shoot up for the TT week? I can't imagine business is all that brisk for the rest of the year, but for that one week where people are fighting to find the last bookings, I suppose perhaps they can charge what they want?
For ferry crossings and a couple of nights in a B&B, how much would that cost, as a rough estimate?

Camping is 7-10
Homestay is 25-30
Hotel/b&bs are 70-180,I've stayed in the 180 one twice for TT (our first ever visit then again on our 10th visit) and once out of TT period...it was 80 iirc during normal times.
all prices per night and off the top of my head.
Cheers Chris, I suppose as I'd be going with mates and leaving the mrs at home I'd probably rough it and homestay or book a cheaper end of the scale B&B with share a room with another bloke in my group. I'll definitely make a visit to the TT though, probably 2016 at the earliest as I'm not in the scrap for bookings for 2015.Homestay is 25-30

We are camping this year purely because I struggled to get accom and it's getting tougher every year unless you get lucky with a cancellation.You will still get a booking for 2015...people drop out all the time right up to last min.
If you want it it will happen
be lucky
