You collect the tickets from the Dodekanisos Seaways ticket office right next to the ferry mooring point at Kolonna Quay in Rhodes Town. Bring the confirmation email, it makes picking the tickets up quicker.
The combined ferry timetables I produce which are sticky postings at the top of this section of the forum show which part of Rhodes Port each ferry departure uses.
Exactly the same principle applies if you are using a ferry which departs from Akandia quay, Dodekanisos Seaways have a ticket hut there which opens 90 minutes before each scheduled departure. The Kolonna office however is open from about 07:30 to 20:00, and is also the main ticket office for the entire business.
Now if your journey involves a Blue Star ferry between Symi and Rhodes, don't bother booking in advance. The Blue Star Paros, the current ferry on the route, holds 1465 people, and is never ever full on this part of its much longer journey. There's a Blue Star hut at Akandia, and you can purchase your ticket there before departure.
