Sell tickets in a newspaper shop?? This is really strange thing. Well don't kwow if it is a good idea, but it could help people to get a ticket easier. There are many people who don't have a credit card and can't purchase a ticket on the internet or who just don't have internet. Maybe this crazy idea might work! But what if other carriers want to do the same? This would make the newspaper shop a travel agency. No, I think it is not such a good idea. But we'll see how this turns out.

I think its a very good idea... cost of distribution is practically zero and any additional seat sold is money at the bank..

Smart , But why not working together with the national lottery "Lotto" !.

Perfect network and system to print tickets in newspaper stands all over Belgium.

Why not? They sell them right off the internet, so what's wrong with a gass station?

The thing I don't get is: why a newspaper shop and not a travel agency?
You have to pay the shop to I would suppose...

Good example how the free market evolves.

National railways should follow. Selling airtickets as well. But that will be too difficult for the well protected semi state employees. If we see how difficult it is to get a decent answer on the question about cross border train travel costs.
