    Hi Anildhope,

    There’s no need to link. You can buy tickets from various websites (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/switzerland halffare/price) or the app or at the station without proving you have a Swiss Half Fare Card. Checks will be done on the train.

    Just buy them. The only time you need to show your SFHC is when the inspector on the train wants to confirm you are eligible to travel with a fall-fare ticket. The SBB app has an option in the passenger details to indicate if you want to buy half-fare (1/2) or full fare (1/1) tickets.

    Hello Anildhope,

    I case you buy your tickets at the ticketing machine attached file (incl. screenshot) will help you get an idea how to do this at the machine.

    Happy travelling.

    Best,
    Steph
