What’s an Eticket (E-Ticket)?
An Eticket is an electronic ticket purchased online. Once you buy it, the ticket exists only as a digital record. You’ll receive it in your email box, as PDF file with a barcode, your personal details and your eticket options (Utopia or Bus if you purchased them). Once you receive it, you just need to print it with that exact size (A4) and bring it to our gates, showing it together with your ID.
