Hi everyone,

I've been trying to book seat reservations with Eurail and keep getting error E0500. Has anyone else run into this? I've already tried [mention what you've tried: refreshing the page, switching browsers, trying the app instead, etc.] but the error keeps showing up. Any help or shared experience would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No idea about the error. But nearly all reservations can also be bought from other places. Either directly fromthe train companiers (the best options to avoid additional fees on top of the reservation cost) or from other places.
