For sale: 2 TGV train tickets Zurich-Paris

Unfortunately, we are unable to go through with a planned Paris weekend getaway with the new, faster TGV connection from Zurich later this month. The tickets aren’t issued to my name, so anyone could use them. How about a romantic weekend away, with someone else doing the heavy lifting and organizing for you?

Here are the trip details:
Friday, Nov. 30: depart from Zurich at 14:02, arrive Paris-Est at 18:34.
Sunday, Dec. 2: depart from Paris-Est at 15:24, arrive in Zurich at 20:26.

I’d like to sell the tickets for Sfr 400.-, which is cheaper than the roughly 450.- they would usually go for and includes seat reservations. The tickets have been issued for 2nd class, for one person travelling with a GA, and one with a Halbtax (half-fare) within Switzerland, but that can easily be topped up if you don’t have either of those or want 1st class.

If you’re interested in buying the tickets, I’d be willing to transfer our hotel reservation – a four-star near the Arc de Triomphe - to you instead of cancelling it.

Send me a PM if interested.

Re: For sale: 2 TGV train tickets Zurich-Paris

I bumpety-bump can't figure out why no one wants to spend a weekend in Paris.

Here is the hotel reservation I could transfer to you if you're interested in the tickets:
http://www.paris-hotel-magda.com/
Costs EUR130 the first night, EUR115 the second (also much cheaper than the regular rate).

Make me an offer for the train fare!

Re: For sale: 2 TGV train tickets Zurich-Paris

Hi. You are probably not getting any offers because there is currently a two for one sale on train tickets to Paris that is less than 200 for both with or without halbtax. Sorry!

Re: For sale: 2 TGV train tickets Zurich-Paris

hi Angelique - thank you. I wasn't aware of that offer at all and can't find anything on SBB about it. Can you point me in the right direction? Looks like I might have to make myself a little more competitive...
