• Buy your ticket at the ticket office (subject to availability)

Please note the following:

• The blue badge holder must be travelling in the party
• The blue badge must be shown on request of a Wightlink Ticket Inspector, failure to produce a valid blue badge will result in a surcharge to the full public tariff being charged 
• The blue badge must be valid for both outward and return journeys on the booking
• All bookings must be paid for at the time of booking, Tesco Clubcard vouchers are not accepted
• Discount does not apply to season tickets, books of tickets, promotional, freight, coach or group travel
