I did as the Renfre clerk suggested. They checked the ticket (seat reservation) at the entrance to the track but not at all after. So far, in Spain, they never check on the train because all trains require seat reservations and they check those at the entrance to the track.
I asked Renfe information in Madrid. They did not know the answer but suggested I get on board with the seat reservation. They said the only penalty (if not allowable) would be to buy another ticket.
We asked the platform staff and they said it was OK. Nobody checked our pass once onboard.
It was $27 for 2 seat reservations. Maybe he sold you an upgrade at the same time. How much was it ? Otherwise I'd speak to staff on the platform and explain. It probably won't be an issue but just to avoid misunderstandings. It was 27 euros for 2.
Found a way around. Our “1 star” hotel had printing service!
