Hi Sydneynick

Can you tell me if you can pick tgv tickets days before departure thanks

If you go to that TGV site, there should be an option for you to collect the tickets in France. You will be given a reference number.

You can then go to any mainline station, or an SNCF boutique, with that reference and the *exact* same credit card that you used for payment, and you%26#39;ll get the tickets.

Hi

Thanks so much for your help

|||

......and if you go to that site, log on as a resident of England, you can reserve your tickets, and print them on your home computer. (We just did that for our recent trip to France.)

You don%26#39;t have to go anywhere to pick them up. As an added bonus, if you loose them, you can go to a ticket window in France, present your identical credit card, and get new copies.

thank you for your information

The option to print tickets at home doesn%26#39;t depend on where you say you live, but rather on what fare structure you are getting. The self-print option applies only to %26quot;prem%26quot; (deep discount) fares. Any other fare structure would have to be picked up, as described above. If the self-print option is available, it will be offered when you book; otherwise, print out the confirmation information and take that, plus the SAME credit card (absolutely required) you used to make the payment, and pick up the ticket as described above.

thanks you for your help

Do you need to show the actual credit card, or can you just give the details? Our daughter, who is in Japan, doesn%26#39;t have a credit card and wants to use our credit card details to buy her tickets but when she gets to Paris she won%26#39;t have the actual card.Will this work?

Assume not. There was a thread posted recently, where the poster bought the ticket and then the credit card was lost/stolen. He had to buy a new ticket. I picked up my ticket recently at an SNCF office and had it out with my id, so don%26#39;t know if it would have been asked for or not. But I was taking no chances after reading the recent thread on the subject.
