Amadeus Rail Ticketing & e-Ticketing

Being able to ticket as part of the sales process brings savings in terms of productivity and waiting time for the customer. Travel sellers that can ticket ahead of the journey bring peace of mind to the business and leisure traveller.

What will it do for my business?

• Rail providers can expect cost savings in-line with that of airlines that use e-ticketing. IATA estimates that $9US dollars are saved every time an e-ticket is issued rather than a paper ticket
• Amadeus ensures that costs are reduced by ensuring “shared printer technology” which was a first in the rail industry.

• The Electronic Ticketing server will facilitate the storage of e-Tickets regardless of their origin, as well as validation and security checks on the issuance of e-Tickets.
• The Amadeus Electronic Ticketing Server also acts as a gateway ‘hub’, directing the e-Tickets issued from any GDS to the desired external e-Ticketing server (an operator’s server, the Amadeus server or an interlining partner’s server)
• If paper tickets are used Amadeus ensures that the ticket image is correctly transmitted to the printer for the right form of ticket
