What am I doing wrong ? We have 6 people in our group. 3 adults, 1 senior, 1 child %26amp; 1 infant. As suggested by MorganB I even tried keeping it to all adults so that it would give me the option of printing my own tickets. Please help with what I am doing wrong.
I followed MorganB%26#39;s helpfule guide but when it came time to select how to get the tickets it only gave me the option to mail to an address in FRANCE.
Thanks all for your help with this !

Unless you have A4 size paper - don%26#39;t try and print this at home, so to speak.
I just booked two tickets, but the SNCF site only is valid for certain countries, of which US isn%26#39;t one. They do state that, though rather vaugely and indirectly for this pompous American.
You need to go to http://www.raileurope.com
You can also get museum passes there and a few other things. Mine arrived about 4 days after ordering which I thought was pretty good.

Can it be that you forgot to uncheck their travel insurance offer? If you leave it on there is no other option but to mail the tickets.
No need to go to the overpriced RailEurope.

Kewflorida: A4 paper is not a problem as stated in my guide. Its close enough to regular paper. No need to go via raileurope.
RBMDN: The other post might have hit it on the head. You must deselect insurance. Also some international destinations are mail only. If insurance wasnt the problem, give me the details of what you are trying to book and I can double check for you. Also you can call the english language phone number mentioned in my guide and they will mail the tickets to you.

MorganB, RBMDN -
I think there was a poster just a couple of weeks ago who had a similar problem. If I remember correctly the issue was the infant ticket. The solution was to order the tickets by phone as you suggested.

As to the type of paper, I had the same question last year. A kind poster on another forum told me it%26#39;s just regular white printer paper. True. I had no problem at all. The inspectors are just checking the information that%26#39;s printed not the paper itself, but the paper should be white.

I recently purchased rail tickets (closely following MorganB%26#39;s outline) and did not receive the option to print the tickets. IrishRovr%26#39;s observation that selecting a child fare (which I had) apparently left me no option other than having the tickets mailed to friends in France.
|||
Just to point out you can also always order the tickets via the phone for any fare except iDTGV. When you order over the phone they will mail to the US which is not the case with internet orders.
