Can you add the Alcatraz tour option to my San Francisco CityPASS® media comp ticket?
Because the Alcatraz Tour option is only available when CityPASS® tickets are purchased directly from Alcatraz Tours (on-site, via phone or online), the Alcatraz Tour option cannot be pre-loaded onto any media comps.

Alcatraz Tours reserves the right to approve/not approve any journalist’s request. As space is limited on the Alcatraz Tour boats, requests are sometimes denied because the preferred tour is already sold out.
