Is ticket swapping allowed?

Post by JosephK »

Is ticket swapping allowed on the Grand Portage Isle Royale Transportation Lines? One member of our group can't make it, but we have someone who can replace him.

When they read the names off to enter the boat have the replacement person acknowledge and board. No problem.

Yes, lying is always an option.

Call GPIR they are wonderful people and extremely helpful! They will happily transfer ticket names for you.

Been there, done that

Edit: Came back to say how amazing their customer service is overall. I could write three paragraphs of the headache i put them through with changes and cancelations.
