Purchase & payment
Online
You can easily purchase the GA Night online from the BLS webshop or via the BLS Mobil app. Your customer number (000-000-000-0) is required for this. If you don’t have one of these already, an online identity check will be carried out when you make your first purchase. You will need a passport or an ID card, a smartphone with a camera and a recent, high-quality digital passport photo.
If you would like to buy the GA Night for your children, this is also possible, provided you and the child have a SwissPass card including linked SwissPass login.
Staffed ticket offices
Alternatively, you can also purchase the GA Night at your local BLS travel centre or at a staffed public transport ticket office. In this case, please bring your SwissPass with you. If you don’t have a SwissPass, please bring a recent analogue or digital passport photo and your passport or ID card.
