Barcelona - Football and Holiday

[Tangled up in Blue]

Since i bought it from a automated ticket machine that had the options of Spanish, Catalan or English (available at all Metro stations), it wasnt difficult, that and the price differential which is clear, and also the fact that all the tourist guides i read stated that if you only want to do the city itself, you will only need Zone 1.

I guess the real differnce is the 'T-10 1 Zona' has exactly that printed on the ticket. The T-10 being the type of ticket, and the 1 -Zona relating to the routes permitted. Pretty much like my C2C season ticket, where the ticket type is defined as 'Annual Travelcard' and Southend East to London zones 1-6 are the permitted routes.

For what its worth, i am still carrying my T-10 ticket around in my wallet if anyone wants some proof in the Spread on Saturday... just incase i'm lying :winking:

I thought you'd got the idea that a T1 card refers to Zone 1, a T2 card to Zones 1 and 2 etc and T-10 refers to the type of ticket only (valid for 10 rides but not the actual zone).Evidently not.
You can see this quite clearly from the ATM touch screens you were talking about above,(incidentally designed by a former company class student of mine, Ramon Beneditto).The first screen(the same in all metro and FGC stations, invites you to choose the type of card you want, T-10 etc,(there are many other types too).If you press on T-10, you are then invited to specify which zone you want eg T-1,T-2,T-3 etc
If I have time, I'll take a couple of photos for you before our flight over on Friday.I'll also be available in the Shrimpers Bar to show you an example of a T1 and a T2 card(I'll only visit the Spread if someone can assure me they won't be serving their beer in plastic glasses).:winking:

You do have the wrong ticket if you want to travel anywhere outside the centre.Ask Shrimpero,he was fined quite heavily, a few years ago, for using a T1 card to travel in Zone 2.:zzzzz:
In the last couple of years I've travelled around St.Petersberg,Moscow,Vienna,Prague and Budapest,using their superb public transport facilities, each time.I wouldn't dream of telling the locals what their tickets are called though.Clearly,Brit.tourists who've just spent a weekend in the place they're visiting,know better than the locals,however.:whistling:

Why didn't he buy a T-10 ticket then?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Why didn't he buy a T-10 ticket then?

This one will clearly run and run.:winking:
(Just to clarify he had a T-10, Zone 1 ticket,rather than a T-10,2 Zones ticket)

A fact which i touched on a while a go. Indeed, i imagine that when you went to St petersburg that you did a little bit of research before you went?

Just out of interest, if you had a season ticket at Roots Hall, would you tell your mates you had a 'Season Ticket' or a 'Seat 43, Row R, Block F' ticket?

Ticket Office: "Hello, Roots Hall Ticket Office"

BarnaBlue: "Yes, i would like a Seat 43, Row R, Block F ticket please"

Ticket Office: "is that the seat you would like to sit in sir"

BarnaBlue: "yes its the ticket i want please"

Ticket office: "and would you like a ticket for the game sir, or a season ticket"

BarnaBlue: "I'd like a seat 43, Row R, Block F ticket please"

Ticket office: "yes we have established where you would like to sit, but would you like a ticket for the game or for the season?"

BarnaBlue: "I'd like a seat 43, Row R, Block F ticket for many games please, many many games"

Ticket Office: "So you require a season ticket sir?"

BarnaBlue: "Well, i can see you offer a so called 'Season Ticket' on your website, but no, i must insist on a Seat 43, Row R, Block F ticket for many many games please"

and so on... :headbang:

I fought a man to the death at Oxford for being in my seat and then found out it was unallocated seating. Just saying.

Did he use a T10 - 1 zona card or a T10 - 2 zona card? You can't get T1 cards #BarnaBlueGetsItWrongAgain

For the umpteenth time the type of card is a T-10, the zone is 1/2/3 etc.Obviously if you're the usual gormless tourist they won't explain this to you and just give you a zone 1 card as they'll assume that's all you'll need to travel around in the centre.If you should want to travel further afield eg to SC, you'll need a Zone 2 card,to Terrassa a Zone 3 card etc.Simples really.

 

[Pubey]

What card gives you one ride in zone 1?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

What card gives you one ride in zone 1?

Either a single zone 1 ticket or a T-10(10 rides)Zona 1 card. :whistling:
Surely even you can see the difference between "una tarjeta de diez de una zona" o "una tarjeta de diez de dos zonas?" :unsure:
