Space Shuttle Launch tickets

[Guest]

Got an email today telling me that tickets are on sale on 4th April for the launch of STS-114 space shuttle discovery scheduled for 15th May 2005. Tickets are available on line at KennedySpaceCentre or by phone 321-449-4444. One not to miss if you are there.

Well... apparantly I can't give you the proper link for KSC due to forum rules.

Don't click the other one as it's just one of those annoying search engine clones.

If another member can post the correct link to KSC it would be appreciated as although I'm 36, I'm not adult enough to post an active link in the forum... sheesh

Beware, the launch date is not yet finalised and is rumoured to be likely to delay from the May 15th date. Launches can be cancelled at very short notice.
Having said that, it is a fantastic experience if you are lucky enough to see it.

Jeff,annoying as it is as weve all been there,but the link posting thing is to stop people just registering to advertise their villas or whatever.
Im not sure how many post you have to do before you can start posting links,so the more you Dibb the quicker it will be,lol.


By the way... welcome to the Dibb

We are going to Florida from 26th May for 2 weeks and would love to see a launch.

Is it worth the risk by purchasing these tickets and hoping that the the launch is delayed.

Does anyone know how much the tickets are likely to be as the website doesn't seem to give a price.

I got a launch ticket for 2001 but the launch got delayed and we were home when it finally lifted off The tickets are usually free or they were in 2001.

The tickets were showing up at $36 on the KSC website, for viewing. All the other ticket options appear to have sold out already.

Tempted...

Growing up with the advantage of seeing the launches from our back garden I can honestly tell you that I would NOT purchase viewing tickets for a launch. Especially for the first launch since the accident. More than likely there will be a delay and if you don't fall within the dates of the delay it will be all for nothing.

Having said that, I can tell you that there are numerous viewing spots along the water causeway stretching for miles that you could just park and view for an up close experience. This is the best way to go.

If you are planning on spending a day at the beach I would recommend going to Cocoa Beach and having a birds eye view from there.

We're planning on watching an August launch probably from somewhere around Cocoa Beach. Has anybody done this, and if so what is the traffic like on the way to and from the area? Is it nose to tail traffic jams, or is it not so bad?
