I bought tickets for the Eiffel Tower on-line. The directions are very specific about printing them, but I don't have A4 paper. Do the tickets have to be printed on A4 paper? Can I print them on 8 1/2 by 11 white printer paper? Also, I tried texting two tickets to the same phone number, but only one of the text messages was received. The mobile option no longer appears in my account on-line. Can I resend the ticket by text message that was not received? Thank you.

Hi Kathy. I printed my Eiffel Tower tickets on regular 8 1/2" x 11" paper. I was careful not to fold or crease the QR / bar code on each ticket.
I can't answer your question about texting, but I e-mailed the tickets as PDFs to myself as a backup.

Kathy,
I also printed my tickets on standard 8.5" x 11" paper.
I also took a screenshot of each of our tickets on my iPhone, & the Eiffel Tower staff were able to scan these without any problem.
I had our printed tickets, just in case, but didn't need to use them.
I'm not tech savvy, but my daughter helped me out & it was easy.
So here are the details:
Access your Eiffel Tower purchase confirmation email on your smartphone.
Follow the printing instructions by clicking on the link given.
Access your account on the ET website (with link given in email)
Take screenshots of each of your tickets.
your screenshot tickets will appear in your camera roll.
I made a "tickets" album, for easy retrieval.
Hope you find this helpful :-)
Enjoy your trip!

Also remember that even if you DO have prepaid tickets - the Eiffel Tower can close down without notice for the all-to-infamous Paris Strikes and riots and protests, etc.

In the event there is a strike or shut down, are you refunded if you have pre-paid?
