Dedicated Fan Gets Eurail Tattoo to Realize 80-Year Old Parents' Dream

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, January 20 - "My name is Grant Burton and I'm from Australia and I have my parents'
40th Wedding Anniversary coming up soon." This is Burton's introduction to
Eurail.Com of his long treasured dream: allowing his parents to travel
through Europe one last time. To realize this dream, Burton, self appointed
Eurail's biggest fan, is willing to represent the Eurail experience for the
rest of his life.

Existing well over 50 years, the Eurail train Passes that allow almost
unlimited rail travel in Europe have many loyal customers. But never has
Eurail.Com experienced such a fan dedication as with the 30-year old
Australian.

Celebrating his parents' anniversary, Burton is looking to offer them a
special gift. His father's biggest wish is to see Germany again. "My Dad is
nearly 80 and won't get much of a chance to see his old friends," he writes.
Burton, who travelled with Eurail last year, thinks that Eurail Passes would
be perfect for this present. Grant, currently unemployed, does not have the
resources to pay for the Eurail Passes. That is when he got the idea to
tattoo the Eurail logo and www.eurail.com on his back, in return for
free Eurail Passes for his parents.

"We feel that Grant's initiative to immortalize our brand is the summit
of Eurail enthusiasm," Chantal Sukel, Campaign Manager of Eurail.Com BV
comments. "Allowing more enthusiastic fans to live their dream, we will
launch a campaign around Grant's idea. From February 15, everybody can post
us their story or idea for "Biggest fans travel for free" on our website and
Eurail Facebook Fan Page. The most passionate and creative customers will
earn a free Eurail Pass."

Burton will travel to Europe with his parents autumn 2010 to show his
tattoo in the Dutch Eurail.Com office. Eurail.Com offers him a sponsorship of
his trip if 10000 people support Grant Burton on Facebook. Visit Burton's
Facebook Group to follow his inspiring story.
