What does it take to climb to the Crown?
Crown tickets are hard to get. Here's why — and the way around it.
The problem
The calendar sells out weeks ahead
Crown spots are limited each day, and the official calendar is often sold out weeks to months ahead — with no same-day line, no waitlist, no standby.

Our guarantee
No alert, full refund

Request the refund from your account, from the day after your last day (New York time). Stopping a watch before it ends gives up the guarantee. Full conditions in our Terms of Service.
Frequently asked
How does this work?
Think of it as a personal assistant refreshing the official Crown calendar for you, every few minutes, around the clock. When a spot reopens on your dates, we send you an email and a push alert with a link to the official booking page, so you can book it yourself.
Is this a subscription?
No. It's a one-time payment for a single watch window. Your watch simply expires at the end — you're never charged again unless you start a new one.
Are you the official Statue of Liberty site?
No — we're an independent alert service. You always book directly with the official operator, at face value. We never sell tickets and never touch your reservation.
What if the spot is already gone when I tap?
It can happen — some spots go within minutes. That's why your watch never stops at one alert: we keep monitoring and alerting until your window ends or you stop it, at no extra cost. Keep notifications on and your phone close — the alert is your head start, and most windows see more than one opening.
What if no spot opens during my watch?
Openings usually turn up during a watch. If your paid watch ends without a single alert, you can request a full refund. See our guarantee.
