Eurostar, the international high-speed train operator, is marking its 30th anniversary in grand style by launching an exciting treasure hunt across three Belgian train stations.
Lucky participants who uncover ‘golden tickets‘ will win first-class duo tickets to a destination of their choice, adding a festive thrill to the holiday season.
The golden ticket hunt will take place on 14 December at Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central, and Liège-Guillemins train stations. Each station will hide ten tickets, with a total of 30 up for grabs.
The winners will enjoy a premium travel experience with Eurostar, choosing from 28 destinations serviced by the iconic train network, including London, Paris, and Cologne.
A Celebration of Legacy and Travel
Eurostar announced the initiative as part of its milestone celebrations, combining nostalgia with a sense of adventure.
“To celebrate the anniversary in a big way and usher in the festive season, Eurostar is organising an exclusive ticket hunt,” the company stated in a press release.
Participants are encouraged to join the hunt starting at noon, turning the bustling terminals into vibrant playgrounds of discovery.
The activity promises to blend the thrill of exploration with the magic of holiday travel, uniting travellers and train enthusiasts in a shared celebration of Eurostar’s history.
Clues and Assistance
To guide participants in their search, Eurostar is collaborating with influencers, who will share hints throughout the day via Instagram.
Social media users can follow accounts like @clementine_caron, @FranekLife, @AlexandraKoljaj, and @EnderScholten for timely updates.
Additionally, Eurostar staff in uniform will be stationed across the terminals, ready to provide helpful tips to eager hunters.
This collaborative approach ensures an engaging and inclusive experience for all participants, young and old alike.
How to Claim Your Prize
Participants who discover a golden ticket must register it with the Eurostar crew in the same station where it was found.
This step is essential to validate their win and secure their prize. Each finder is allowed to claim only one ticket, ensuring a fair chance for others to join in the festive fun.
The prize, a first-class trip for two, is redeemable between 6 January and 30 April 2025, offering winners a luxurious start to the new year.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway to Paris, a cultural adventure in Cologne, or an iconic trip to London, the winners can look forward to an unforgettable travel experience.
Bringing Communities Together
The golden ticket hunt underscores Eurostar’s commitment to fostering community engagement while celebrating its rich legacy of connecting major European cities.
By incorporating social media, local influencers, and station staff, Eurostar is creating a lively, interactive event that highlights the spirit of travel and discovery.
As the countdown begins, excitement is building across Belgium for what promises to be a thrilling and memorable treasure hunt.
Mark your calendars and prepare to embark on a journey like no other – whether it’s within the station or aboard a first-class Eurostar train.
