Hi,
I am from USA (non-european resident) I am planning to travel through Europe this august. I kinda not want to purchase the ticket through the Raileur*pe and I want to purchase the global ticket pass through railcc+Interrail. It is so cheap for me to buy there through and I am currently in Ireland and I have a several irish friend who is willing to purchase the ticket through Interrail. Is it possible for them to do that? Or I can just secretly change country of resident to Ireland and buy the ticket? If so, what is my consquences if I decides to do it? what is my opinion to get cheap ticket? xo

Hi.
Please no double posts in the forum . Thank you. :)
As US-citizen it is not possible to buy an Interrail Pass.
The important thing is: where did you lived the past six months? If outside of Europe, then you will have to buy Eurail. Inside Europe: Interrail.
You will always need a proof of residency with you. If you have an US-passport with you and no proof that you lived the past 6 months in Europe, your Interrail pass is illegal, will be withdrawn - and you have to pay for the train you use the full price. :|
And why to buy at this company you mentioned...?! Buy it here via our partner links...
Interrail at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Eurail via [ux]https://rail.shop/eurail[/ux]
And at the same time you support the railcc project and all the information here - not just an anonymous rail ticket outlet. :)

Okay then I guess I will have to buy the train global pass through this website. What if I decide to get 21 days straight, is that mean I have to be on the train for 21 straight continuous day or whenever I get on the train, the day start count? I plan start travel on August 10 to September 3 but I will stay in every country for like two-three days...Last question, I am currently in Ireland for next two months, can I get the rail pass mail to Ireland for free? 8)

Hi.
We can not delivery the Eurail Pass to an European postal address - it is not allowed for us! :(
So you have to tray to get it somewhere else - at larger railway stations - Dublin for example ?!?
You have to activate the Eurail pass before you can use it. Please read here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/how-to-eurail[/u]
Here the details are explained for your Eurail Global 21 days pass: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-global-pass[/u]
You activate on the 10th August and can travel around the clock the following 21 days, whenever you want.

so basically, the 21 days is based on the clock? if I decide to not use the pass for 24 hours then it wont count as one day? ahhh would it charge me if I get it at Dublin larger railway stations?

The Eurail Global Pass for 21 days is a CONTINUOUS pass which means: it is valid for 21 consecutive travel days!
It doesn't matters if you travel on a day or not. If you don't travel, you will loose travel days.
Maybe this pass (10 travel days in 22 days) is the better option for you: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-global-pass[/u]
I don't know if you charge you a service fee and if they even sell it in Dublin. There should be other websites selling Eurail.
