Magic ticket for SBB rail – 20% discount on food

Short summary – read this first

Vishal is planning a trip to Switzerland from June 21 to June 30 and has a 1st class Swiss Travel Pass for 15 days. He needs help understanding how to get Magic tickets for his two kids to receive a 20% discount on food from SBB trains and is unsure if just having a membership number is enough for the discount. He also finds the German instructions confusing and seeks easier guidance.

Key takeaways:
  • To obtain Magic tickets for children, ensure you clarify the membership number's usage with SBB directly.
  • Contact SBB customer support in English for clear guidance on discounts.
  • Adults cannot use the Magic card for food discounts; it is specifically for children.
  • If you struggle with German, try using the English option on the tickipark.ch website.

    Hi I will be in Switzerland from 21St June to 30th June and I will be having 1St class Swiss travel pass for 15 days. Kindly let me know how do I get Magic tickets for my 2 kids to get 20% discount on SBB trains (food ) catering . I could get the membership number for one of my kids for the same but they did not send a separate magic card. My question is whether the membership number is sufficient to get discount on food. What is the procedure to go about it. Can the adults also use the magic card for food discount on trains. Also most of the letters I receive from them are in German which I cannot understand. There is no option for English language in the site. http://www.magicticket.ch. Thanks Vishal Udawat

    Hi Vishal,

    Sorry, I can’t help you with this. Hopefully someone else knows. If they ask for a SwissPass number then note that you cannot enter a Swiss Travel Pass number. SwissPass is for Swiss citizens only.

    You can contact the SBB in English here: http://www.sbb.ch/en/meta/con tact.html.
