Hi, this is my first time with Interrail. 
i just turned 29 and wrongly booked a youth ticket. It was not very clear on the booking site and I just saw it after confirmation. 
My question is, how strict is age control in your opinion? I am planning to travel through Germany, Austria and Italy. 
however, I am student with valid certificate. Will that be of any interest?

thanks for helping!

It’s not valid and you will have to show your passport/ID with your DOB printed on it.

 

Exchange it for one that is valid for you.

If you bought a mobile pass, you won't be able to activate it. So exchange is the only option.

If you have a paper pass you would be committing fraud. If caught it could have serious consequences.

Ok thanks for the advice!

so the fact that I am student doesn’t seem to help much?

No, there is no student discount.
