Hello and welcome to the SBB Community. What would you like to do?
Im flying to Zurich next week and I was thinking of buing a half fare travelcard as Iam going to travel mainly by train.But since Im a tourist and I don't have a public transport card, I can't complete the purchase online as it requires to complete and send a form.
Can I only purchase it when I arrive at the airport in Zurich?Can I still buy tickets online offering discount with the half fare travelcard even if I don't have it right now but I will when I get there?Finally, do I need to bring a photo with me when I buy it?
Thanks in advance for you replies.

Hi @angiep
Which offer do you want to purchase?
This season ticket is valid for 1 year and all routes on this map.
If you don't have a customer number, please buy the travelcard at the railway counter.
This is an offer of the Swiss Travel System. The ticket is valid for 1 month on all routes on this map.
You can purchase the Swiss Half Fare Card online.
I hope that this information is useful for you and wish you a pleasant journey.
Kind regards

Thank you for your reply.I hadn't realised there were 2 options.So I guess as Iam a tourist I need to buy the half fare card which I can purchase online. and then I can buy all my other tickets online right?
If I buy a regular ticket, not a super-saver, for a particular time but then miss this train, can I take the next one right?Just want to be sure before purchasing online tickets.
Thanks again.

I wish you nice trips within Switzerland.
