Grand Palais tickets
 

I was on the Grand Palais website, trying to order tickets for the upcoming Monet show. You have to register first and they ask for a mobile phone number, which I don't have . I just want to use my credit card and print tickets online. How do I do this without a mobile phone number. If I just plug in my home phone will the next step ask for my credit card and allow me to print the tickets? Anyone with experience with buying tickets on this site?

I ordered tickets to the Monet exhibit through www.fnac.com to pick up at any store, there are several in Paris. Possible small surcharge as tickets were 13.50 e

Online form requested either home or mobile phone number, not both.

Hope this helps.

You csn also order e tickets.

I just used my landline number and had no problems printing them out. If you are arriving in Paris by Eurostar, you get a 2 for 1 offer

Thanks for your replies. I went back on the Grand Palais website and, using my home phone number, was able to purchase and print tickets to the Monet Exhibit. Tickets were 13 Euros each.

The Monet show is from Sept. 22 through I believe Jan. 24 (or so). Sounds as though some paintings are from the Musee d'Orsay.

P. S. to my last post - my first attempt to buy the tickets after using my home phone number didn't go through as I failed to call to alert my credit card (Visa) that I was making a foreign transaction. Actually I was still sitting at my computer, trying to figure out where I'd gone wrong, when the phone rang and it was the fraud dept. asking about it. They then flagged my account and the 2nd time the transaction went through.

interesting. I don't have any credit cards that automatically refuse ANY foreign charge. The only time I had any one questioned was after a series of charges abroad (and that one was stupid as I had told them I was going abroad). But I routinely purchase online tickets before traveling to Europe and they are never automatically blocked. I have a Visa, also, and it doesn't do that, it must be your particular card issuer.

I've had this happen when buying train tickets online for our upcoming trip to France -- both using our VISA and Mastercard -- maybe you travel abroad more frequently and so foreign purchases don't raise flags.
