If you want to count yourself among the 1.5 million annual visitors to Alcatraz it is highly recommended to book your tickets well in advance. However, if you find yourself visiting last minute, you can sometimes get a ticket by visiting the Box Office as soon as it opens and hoping for a cancellation.
