Tomnewcombe99 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Hi, I will be on holiday in France (uk resident) when tickets go on sale. Does anyone know if it’s possible that IF I get through I can still purchase tickets normally as my id and billing will be UK-based? Theres info on the official site but it’s about permanent overseas residents thanks tom Edited September 16, 2019 by Tomnewcombe99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe the website would know I’m going through a non-uk server so the see tickets website will be in French I assume. im not technical so probably stupid question but wanted to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres info on the official site but it’s about permanent overseas residents thanks tom I've purchased tickets while in France previously. I used my normal reg and UK credit card. Everything was identical to purchasing when in the UK. I was surprised I succeeded though, given that I was sailing in rough seas in the Bay of Biscay at the time!!
