Hi if anyone could help me regarding a ticketing inquiry with the
EuroStar I might have it would be much appreciated.

Recently I purchased some Eurostar tickets off someone who didn't need
them anymore as his plans where changed and I'm starting to get
worried about using them especially on New Years Eve. I phoned up
Eurostar and they told me you can't yet my flat mates have done this
before and have been fine even when the ticket guard checked their
tickets on the train. There is also a web site where people sell there
tickets I have noticed..

So anyone out there who has done this could you help reassure me its
fine or should I start looking at staying in London..

If you can have any info could you please email me it would be great.

Thanks..

technically you can't transfer them BUT in my experience with Eurostar
passport checks and ticket checks are separate and carried out by
different people so you are unlikely to be caught. I saw no attempt to
match names.
