We are going to DLP for the first time (from US-Seattle) on 12/27. I am trying to figure out how to buy tickets for the TGV. On the UK site, it will not let me buy since I do not have a UK address.

Is it better to just buy my tickets when we arrive since we are not sure how long it will take through customs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

You can book on www.raileurope.co.uk

You get an e-ticket if you book within 7 days of travelling and these are the instructions:

Ticket Options: Your E-Ticket booking confirmation will be sent to you via email as you are traveling within the next 7 days. E-Ticket must be printed and collected from the Self Service Machine at the station.
Click the 'Add To Basket' button opposite to proceed with your booking

Your departure is Aeroport CDG 2, arrival Marne La Valle Ches.

Have a fantastic time.

hi there, i bought my tgv ticket yesterday; i could not buy from the UK site because it requires a UK creditcard, so I bought from www.tgv.com which was fine with my australian creditcard. i have to pick it up from the machines at the airport when i arrive. the cheapest ticket was 15 euros, but for only 16.50 i got a flexi ticket which allows me to use the trains on either side of my reservation (so if i am earlier than i estimate, or later) for no fee and with no need to change the ticket. I think that is a small price to pay for the benefit.
