GET YOUR TICKETS

One more thing: earlier today, some of you ran into a technical problem purchasing tickets — your card was rejected or you were asked to re-enter your information repeatedly. We found and fixed the issue. If that happened to you, we’re sorry for the frustration, and we’d love for you to try again — it’s working now.

Thank you for your continued support of the SS Jeremiah O’Brien. We hope to see you dockside for the airshow.
