Cheap Elipsos Trenhotel tickets?

[fiona]

Half price prem tickets are only on offer in France Spain and Switzerland at the moment. If I use the French SNCF website for a dummy booking, it seems that I can get them for the French price, even if I give a UK address. Does anyone know if this actually works on a live booking, or do I need a physical address in France (or Spain) to which the tickets would need to be sent? In which case this looks like another potential service for Ivar to offer.

You can certainly book on the French website, http://www.voyages-sncf.com and get the price quoted there. I book all my French train tickets this way and when booking select 'France' as my country (I'm actually in Australia). This way I can pick up the tickets at any French train station, or sometimes am able to print out the tickets at home. Just remember to print out your receipt with the booking number and take this to the station.

Tickets can be booked up to 90 days before travel, no earlier. But when booking PREM's be certain of the date you want to travel as many of these tickets cannot be changed or refunded.
