The 12 days of Christmas are beginning today for the new Titanic Belfast exhibition, as tickets go on sale to the public for the first time. Between now and Christmas Eve, everyone buying tickets online will receive a five per cent discount on admission and will also be entered into a prize draw to win tickets for an MTV concert taking place on the Titanic slipway next spring.
Also up for grabs are VIP tickets to special previews before the official opening on March 31.
Marketing manager Claire Bradshaw said: ” This is the world’s largest Titanic attraction and will be one of the most exciting and engaging visitor experiences to open anywhere in the world in 2012. People have been eager to ensure that they are among the first to visit Titanic Belfast, while others are keen to buy tickets as a Christmas gift for family and friends.”
The striking six-floor building (above), being constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard where Titanic was built, is scheduled to open before the centenary of the liner’s sinking in 1912. As well as nine interpretive and interactive galleries displaying the sights, sounds, smells and stories of Titanic and the people who built her, the building contains a 1,000-seat banqueting suite.
Tickets, available online at titanicbelfast.com, will cost £5 per person for school groups, £13.50 per adult, and £34 for a family.
