Antelope Canyon Tickets Are Sold Out? (Here Is What To Do)
Antelope Canyon is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in Arizona and the American West.
Unlike the major National Parks like the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park, there are hard caps on the amount of guests that can enter Antelope Canyon every day.
All guests need a ticket, and tickets can sell out early. If you are planning on showing up and purchasing a ticket on the day of your tour, you might be sorely disappointed.
Despite this reality, there will be people showing up to do just this every day, finding out the tickets are sold out, and belatedly jumping on Google to do some research. When all the Antelope Canyon tickets are sold out, what should you do?

There are dozens of other third party resellers, most of them varying degrees of unreliability. The likes of TripAdvisor, Viator, and Tours4Fun all have multiple agencies on their platforms reselling tickets. Read the reviews carefully and use these third party sites at your own risk.

Waiting Lists
One of the best waiting lists is at Kens Tours at Lower Antelope Canyon. Outside of holiday weekends, there is a good chance you will get a ticket by using their waiting list. Show up early and check in at the ticket window to get on the list. Be prepared to wait, but most likely they will reward your patience with a tour of Lower Antelope Canyon.
