@LivBlueyes @TicketmasterFR @taylorswift13 @ParisLaDefArena Does your form of payment need to be set up with the French ticketmaster account, ticketmaster[dot]fr, or the "main" ticketmaster[dot]com? I don't see a way to pre-save a credit card to the .fr account, only the main TM account. I'm trying to prepare for tomorrow 😩

Policy systems in many countries move slowly or shift with the political winds, making it hard to meet global goals. Translational research and evidence are key to transforming policy to meet the #SDGs & other targets, writes IFPRI's @babu13000 https://t.co/dY62TC5T3E
