Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account to buy a ticket?
Not always. Many platforms offer guest purchasing, without registration. Creating an account is convenient for finding your tickets, tracking your orders and saving time for your next purchase.
Is buying tickets online safe?
Yes, provided you pay on a secure page. Locate the padlock and the address starting with “https”, and validate the payment with your bank if requested. Avoid purchasing through a link received unsolicited.

Start with the “How to buy a ticket online” page, which presents the complete route. You can then go deeper into each step: account, choice of seats, basket, payment and receipt of the ticket.
