SNCF Groupe Booking

[Dan37]

Hi,

I have purchased a group booking (10 people) for a TGV journey next week. I am worried as 1 person is now unable to come with us. They are happy to pay for their ticket but we will not/cannot remove 1 more person (as the group minimum is 10). My question is, will it be a problem if we turn up to board the train with only 9 people?



Thanks for any help in advance

Certainly I can recall in the past SNCF group travel publicity specifically mentioning 'ou payant pour' (or paying for) - making clear that the number of actual passengers present was not relevant.

It could have changed, but likely not.

In practice you would be unlucky for anyone to even notice - let alone care!

Hi, I've had a response back from SNCF. In the scenario when only 9 people travel in a 10 person group booking (travel for 9, paying for 10), the group is still allowed to travel. If 8 or less people travel the group is required to cancel their ticket. I hope this will be useful for someone in the future!
