Does anyone know if you can get a travel card to Watford? I cant find it at all on the website.

No you can't - the stations are outside of the allowed zones. Watford Junction is in zone 8, travel cards only go as far as zone 6.

Yes you can. Presumably you are travelling from the south into London. Once you’re at any London station you can purchase an Oyster card or a daily travel card (TfL) which permits you to travel to Watford. Check out TfL (Transport for London) website for all info/fares/timetable.
Indeed. By "travel card" I thought the OP meant the One Day Travelcard that gets you from your station down here to London and then allows unlimited travel on tube, bus and overground. Those only go from zone 1-6. But, yeah, you can do the above.

I’ve just checked the TfL site re.travel card areas and fares. You can purchase an off-peak daily travel card for £18.00 which permits travel in zones 1-9 + Watford Junction.

Nope - we're just talking about different travel cards. He's right but if you're looking in the wrong place you won't see a travel card to Watford.

A bit more info for you. If you purchase an Oyster Card and use it to travel from Victoria to Watford Junction the fare (single) will cost you £5.50. Specifically, the chosen route would be Victoria - Euston (tube Victoria line), Euston - Watford Junction (West Midlands Trains). If the timing is spot on you could do the whole trip in 30 minutes.
God, I’m a sad b*stard!
So, can you buy a travelcard for zones 1-6 and then a return from Harrow and Wealdstone to Watford (even if none of the trains you use stop at Harrow and Wealdstone)?
[MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] would be your man there I suspect.
The only reason I know about 1-6 is that I sometimes have to work in an office in Uxbridge which is in 6 and so I can use my travelcard season ticket. Whenever I've gone to Watford I've just got a CDR which includes the tube from Vic to Euston.

strong and stable with me, or...
Last year we got off at Watford High Street tube station with only zone1-6 travel cards, and I don't think they give a crap on match day at the station. We showed our tickets to the guard on the gates too.

This is what I did when we played there under Garcia, worked fine no one checked, could of got away with it. It’s cheaper to just use an oyster from London St Pancras / Victoria and an anytime single to Victoria from Brighton if you are only gonna go to the game and back.

Yes only a season ticket needs to stop at Boundary Station, a Brighton Zone 1-6 travel card and a boundary zone 6 to Watford Junction day return is what you need

Plus Oyster / Contactless has a cap so if you end up spending more than a travel card it stops charging you
