Resale eligibility
The resale of your ticket is guaranteed if the "Resale guaranteed" status is displayed. The resale of your ticket is not guaranteed in other cases.
Resale guaranteed: this trip is in high demand, we guarantee the immediate resale of your ticket.
Waiting for buyer: your ticket will be put up for sale, but its resale will depend on the demand of a buyer.
Some tickets are not eligible for OUIGOSWAP, including:
- Tickets with special or discounted fares (military, police, SNCF staff or retirees, group fares)
- Tickets with the OUIGOFLEX option
- Tickets with the “Limited Comfort Overbooking” fare
- Tickets with the “No Seat Guarantee Overbooking” fare
- Tickets including a connecting OUIGO–OUIGO journey
- Paris–Brussels journeys on OUIGO Train Classique
- Tickets for trains departing in 24 hours or less
- Tickets for disrupted train services
- Tickets where the resale price is not between 10% and 50% lower than the current fare for the same journey (including name change fees).
Putting your ticket on the resale platform does not guarantee its repurchase. For it to be purchased, another traveler must want to make the same trip as you at the same date and time.
As long as your trip has not found a buyer, you can cancel your resale request at any time from the Manage my resale section.
Additionally, any modification to your ticket will automatically cancel the resale. An email will be sent to you.
Yes, all OUIGO High Speed and OUIGO Classic Train trains are eligible for resale. Only Paris-Brussels trains on OUIGO Classic Train are not eligible for resale.
Any resale must be done for all travelers. You cannot resell the tickets of only one traveler.
In case of a connection with another carrier, only the OUIGO ticket can be resold. For the other ticket, consult the sales conditions of the second carrier.

When you put your trip up for resale, it won’t necessarily be listed for purchase right away. After verification, it will be made available once its price is at least 10% lower than the current price (including name change fees). So don’t be surprised if you don’t see it available for resale immediately after your request. But don’t worry, you don’t need to do anything: as soon as this price difference is reached, your trip will automatically be listed!
