Snapple Island ferry tickets will start dropping daily at 3pm ET from Sept. 3-8 for a one-day comedy club aboard Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. The Sept. 17 show will be free, but access will be limited to a small run of ticket pairs.
Pete Davidson and Colin Jost will host the 60-minute show, which Snapple is turning into a floating comedy club on the Snapple Island Ferry. Fans can claim one pair per person at, making the sign-up window the only practical route in for anyone hoping to get aboard.

The event centers on the ferry purchase the two comedians made and on Davidson's own description of the idea. He said, "Turning the ferry into a floating comedy club with Snapple makes more sense than anything else we considered, and it still doesn't make much sense" and added, "Either way, we're giving people a chance to take a break, have a laugh, and do something completely ridiculous with us."
Snapple says the show will feature sets from some of comedy's fastest rising stars, with The Stand Group producing the event. Brad Smith, vice president marketing, Stills & Hydration Portfolio at Keurig Dr Pepper, said, "The Snapple Island Ferry is a simple idea with a big payoff: take what people already love about Snapple's personality and bring it to life in the real world" and "The brand has always had a refreshingly funny take on the everyday, and comedy gives us a clear way to bring that to life — by giving people a timely, entertaining break from the things they feel like they should be doing."
New Yorkers and the ferry
For New Yorkers, the practical detail is the schedule. The tickets arrive in daily drops at 3pm ET from Sept. 3-8, and the release allows one pair per person, so the race for access starts as soon as each drop opens.
Snapple says clips and content from the event will be shared on social channels after the show, which gives people who miss the ticket window a later look at the ferry setup. The remaining open piece is the lineup of individual comedians, which the release does not spell out, leaving the hosts and the ticket schedule as the clearest facts to act on now.
