We get this request a lot. Valkyries fans are PREPARED and buy ferry tickets early. We do often add tickets at 10 AM on gameday. If we have a larger vessel available to assign to arena service, we open up more seats in the app/on the website. But we can't make that call until the day of the game.

Numbers are in: more growth for ferry ridership. Preliminary data shows 17% year over year increase in September. Total ridership for the last 12 months: 2.9 million pax. Inching ever closer to that 3 million mark. The Bay Area is choosing safe, clean and reliable transit over freeway gridlock.

View of the San Francisco Bay from the back of the Oakland bound ferry while pulling into Oakland. In the distance, the San Francisco skyline peeks through blue sky and haze underneath a bright setting sun with strong rays projecting out of the sunset. On the right hand side of the picture, cranes in the port of Oakland are set against a blue sky fading down into the orange light of sunset. The bay ripples in the foreground with waves created by the boat's propellors and sun reflecting off of the water.

We sold out the last half-dozen Valkyries ferries of the season like A MONTH in advance. Demand has been incredible, but we can only land one ferry per game at Pier 48 near Chase Center. We've often been able to increase capacity 1-2 days prior to games as we confirm larger vessels are available.

I’m semi-retired, but still occasionally bike-commute from Berkeley to the Oakland or Hayward Airports with flight gear & a change of clothes. If my schedule permits, I jump on the Oakland-Alameda Water Shuttle for a short ride across the estuary into Alameda. Such a peaceful way to start the day.
