Response from developer

We are sorry that your experience was not satisfactory. The information you were given about the Cable Car must have been accurate at the moment you asked. To request a refund, please contact us at +34 93 465 53 13 or through the contact form available here: https://www.holabarcelona.com/fr/contact.

Not Tourist Friendly at all

We used the Hola Barcelona app to purchase metro tickets and the Cable Car to Montjuic. Both come as vouchers that need to be redeemed. We wasted hours walking around trying to find where to exchange the voucher for physical tickets. The kiosk is not at every metro stop so of course the first one we tried did not support Hola. Fortunately a stranger stopped and told us which metro stop we could find. The right machine. Would never use this site again

Anbaulotte mess

Why do I need the VAT ID for purchasing? Are you kidding me?

Update: I got the answer that it's because of the "full invoice" box. So, it would be very user friendly of your ad those information at three box. Thanks.

Response from developer

You don't need a VAT number to make a purchase. To buy, you only need to provide your basic information during user registration: your full name and email address. The VAT number is only required if you want us to issue an invoice.

Useless

Useless, just use a kiost. You still need to visit a kiost to get your physical ticket even if you buy and pay through the app.

Response from developer

It is true that Hola Barcelona Travel Card tickets must be collected from a vending machine, but the rests of the tickets do not. This restriction is imposed on us by the restrictions of the current integrated ticket validation system. Despite this, we are working to try to offer you users a better experience in the future.

nicht hilfreich, wenn der Ticketimport nicht funktioniert

and of course I used the order number as well as the correct email mentioned in the order confirmation mail. I have deleted the app during my stay as it was unusable for me.

Response from developer

We understand that you are referring to importing purchases made on the website into the app. In this case, you can do this from the "Electronic wallet" section by selecting the option "Add your website purchases". You will need the purchase order that you will find in the confirmation email and the same email address with which you made the purchase.
