Southampton City Council to give residents in the city a free ticket to SeaCity Museum

It is right that this story will
now be told to a world-wide
audience and it is right that
our residents, many of
whom lost ancestors on the
ship, get to enjoy this
world-class attraction
for free. "

In an unprecedented move Southampton City Council has decided to provide every household in Southampton with a group ticket worth up to £25 and in the next few weeks the council will write to every household in Southampton to explain to residents how they can redeem and use their tickets.

Cllr Royston Smith, Leader of Southampton City Council, said: “SeaCity Museum will be one of the leading maritime destinations in the country and the largest Titanic Exhibition in Great Britain.

It will be a significant boost to the economy, create new jobs and attract new investment to the city. But those things aside it will tell Southampton’s tragic role in one of the world’s most famous and most tragic events.

“It is right that this story will now be told to a world-wide audience and it is right that our residents, many of whom lost ancestors on the ship, get to enjoy this world-class attraction for free.”
