    Hi Goose,

    All purchase options are listed here. Geneva airport has a train station, so if you don’t arrive too late you can buy the Swiss Half Fare Card from the staffed ticket desk there. However, it is easier and quicker to buy it online and print it at home. That way you can skip the staffed desk, get your ticket from a machine (or online too) and board the train quickly.

    You’ll find the webshop of the Swiss Railways at http://www.swissrailways.com/ en. After filling out your address, they will show the delivery options. Pick “Online Ticket” from the bottom of the list. They will e-mail the card within 1-3 business days (no delivery fees), so you can print it at home.
