Q: When is the best time to book my accommodation and travel for the TT?
A: The Isle of Man TT is an extremely high-demand event. Ferry spaces (especially with a vehicle/motorcycle), flights, and quality accommodation (including hotels and popular campsites) often sell out immediately when they are released.
If you delay, your options will be significantly limited, and prices will be much higher. -
Q: How do the TT road closures affect getting around the island?
A: The 37.73-mile Mountain Course is a public road that closes completely for all practices and races.
Best Options: Use the excellent public transport network (Bus Vannin and the Heritage Railways), which continues to operate outside the course, or plan your entire day around the official road closure schedule, which is published daily. Always check the latest schedule as it is subject to change due to weather.
Crucial Tip: If your accommodation is inside the closed course, you cannot leave or return until the roads officially reopen (which can be late at night).

Q. Do I need to buy a ticket to watch the TT Races?
A: No, not for most places! The majority of the 37.73-mile course is public road, and you can watch for free from hundreds of roadside vantage points.
Safety Note: Always obey the instructions of the volunteer marshals and only watch from designated safe spectator areas (marked by fencing or signage).
Tickets are only required if you want a reserved seat in the Official Grandstands (at the start/finish line in Douglas) or for VIP Hospitality areas.
