Statue of Liberty Crown watch

The Crown sells out
months ahead.
Cancellations don’t.

Only about 500 people a day are allowed into the Crown — and tickets routinely sell out 3–4 months out. But visitors cancel every day, and each cancelled spot goes straight back on sale. We read the official Crown Reserve inventory every 10 minutes and alert you the moment one of your dates reopens. Free to watch. One-time $9 only when the first alert fires.

Why it’s this hard

500 spots. 4 million visitors.

The math is brutal. The National Park Service caps Crown access at roughly 500 visitors per day — small groups, timed entries, 162 narrow steps each way. Meanwhile the monument draws around 4 million visitors a year. Crown Reserve tickets routinely sell out 3–4 months in advance, and unlike the ferry itself, there is no standby line and no waitlist.

Here’s what most people miss: sold out is a snapshot, not a verdict. Visitors cancel and reschedule constantly — illness, changed flights, changed plans — and every cancelled Crown Reserve spot returns to the official calendar. No announcement. No waitlist call. Whoever happens to be looking at that exact moment books it.

That’s the entire job we do: look, every 10 minutes, on your dates, until one appears.
