Buying a Tarjeta Dorada at the Madrid airport

Hi all,

Two friends are going to join us midway through our trip in Seville. They are flying into Madrid on United and plan to take the train to Seville.

Is there a place at the Madrid airport where they can buy a Tarjeta Dorada for Renfe discounts? I am thinking it may be easier for them to do it there than at the train station.

Thanks

First, there is no train at the Madrid airport. However, there is a Renfe ticket office on the lower level just opposite when you get the buses. I have no idea if they sell the pass there. We have always bought ours at a train station. Have your passport ready.

Yes, you can buy a Tarjeta Dorada at the Airport. There is a small Renfe office where you can purchase one. You HAVE to have one PRIOR to purchasing a discount ticket online. They ask for the number on the ticket when you book.

So, she could buy her Tarjeta Dorada and immedietely thereafter buy her ticket, right?
