06. ELGAR
6th February 2005

ELGAR was developed with Eurostar ticketing in mind and is used mainly by rail appointed travel agents and some telesales/internet ticket retailers as well as Eurostar. Very similar to ATB TRIBUTE tickets, Elgar issues usually have the word "Elgar" in the reference number and usually have a perforated counterfoil. There is no such thing as an ELGAR machine. It is merely a software package that can be used on existing travel industry reservation/issuing equipment.
