I am also trying to do this for my family. I arrive in Paris less than 48 hours before planning to go to Barcelona Sants. We really need to book the seats for our family in advance as everything else is arranged(other trains and accommodation as interrail led me to believe this was possible to reserve online), but obviously will not be able get to a station to do this. I have contacted SNCF but they have again reiterated that it needs to be at a station. Really concerned about leaving it late as it specifies there are limited seats available for interrail pass holders. Hi, what did you end up doing?
I have a similar problem. I purchased a paper reservation online for the Paris-Barcelona train (electronic version is apparently unavailable) on December 13, 2021. It was sent out from the Netherlands on December 15, 2021 with a company called PostNL from the Netherlands. I cannot get an update as to when it will arrive in Oceanside, California because PostNL requires a zip code, but a US zip code apparently will not work on the PostNL website. To make matters worse, Eurail said that I must sign for the delivery. I have a tracking number, but that only says that the reservation parcel was picked up on December 15th by PostNL. I sent an email to Eurail (customerservice@eurail.com), asking about the status of the package and explained about the zip code problem for PostNL updates, but they have not answered. I am concerned that it may never arrive and if it does, what if I am not at home to sign for it. What a ridiculous way to run a company! I purchased a Global Pass and I regret it so
I have an Eurail pass and I made ticket reservation from Barcelona to Paris. I paid for my ticket reservation. But I didn´t received the printed tickets. I have to travel in a couple of days and nobody in Eurail is answering to my request. What can I do? Hi, what did you end up doing? In a similar situation
Has anyone else been able to do this?
OR B smarter and go via changes and local TGV INside FR only-has been explained here many times! Like to Perpignan or Montpellier. Also you do not need to be in Paris to get this REServ-can do @ any SNCF counter. In which countries I can find a SNCF counter? I thought it was France only?

I also tried OBB where it says “Ticket not available” when I chose seat only option. But it shows $50 when I choose ticket option What @seewulf says. Please follow these instructions and you will see prices. yes I managed to do it this way! thanks @seewulf @Angelo

ItaliaRail is just a guy who lives somewhere close to BOS/Mass and makes some pocketmoney by arranging this in his own/but for USA foreign lingo. Without further details (how many times do we still have to tell that? WHEN, What train/connection?) IMpossible to answer. Most likely-certainly for USA; youre (again ) WAY too early. OR an overtheborder train/ride. Remember: eye-opener: untill very recently REServ for trains in EUR only opened 2 month advance- . And NO-you do not have to have eternal fears about trains being full so long ahead. Thanks, I have added my train details in the post “Going from rome to florence on 27 aug 18:10 train”Personally, it’s not early for me as june-august is peak time so I’m just trying to get organized because yes you’re right, I have fears about the trains being full in peak season and since I’ve only JUST recently learned that seats for pass holders are limited. I’m gathering that it’s pretty relaxed in Italy and I will just have to go against what I
I also tried OBB where it says “Ticket not available” when I chose seat only option. But it shows $50 when I choose ticket optionany help? @rvdborgt

Italian daytrains via oebb.at :) Thanks to @rvdborgt for notifying me about the new possibilty to reserve Italian daytrains via Oebb.at First select your Route and your traveldate/timeEven if you wanna just reserve a seat please click the option One Way tickets and day ticketsYou will get first results please note that this are Standard prices please click in the red marked box top right on change.Yet you can add as much travelers as needed and add on each traveler the discount Interrail / Eurail Globalpass (at the end of the list) and click on “Confirm”You get some results for example the 13.48 direct Highspeedtrain for 10€ :) Please note that on the 14.26 depature only the first train will be reserved. It looks like OBB can reserve just direct routes if you wanna use the 14.26 depature you have to search first Venice - Bolgona and afterwards Bologna - Milano.Kind Regards from @seewulf & @rvdborgt Do you know why It says “Ticket not available”. I can’t book a reservation.17
Booking reservations for Spanish domestic trains is not possible online. You can buy reservations: at a Spanish ticket office possibly at Lisboa Santa Apólonia (they're reported to have a Spanish system there) at a Deutsche Bahn ticket office. You need to provide the train number. via Deutsche Bahn by phone (+49 30 2970). Collect at a DB ticket machine or receive via post (€5.90 per order). You need to provide the train number. Via a Swiss ticket office or by phone (scroll down to Switzerland):https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations via RENFE by phone, with limitations, see this page (scroll down to Spain):https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations The good thing is that they are not quota-controlled, so you can book seats until the train is full. Train numbers can be looked up via www.raileurope.com, but obviously not too long in advance, since RENFE don't publish their timetables a long tim
@Magdalena thanks, could you please reply to my second message
Pass holder seats are available: This is via Belgian railways. Pass cover number needed, booking fee 4€ per order. You can also book by phone via SNCF (press #85 for English). No pass cover number needed, no booking fee, but the call is not free (it's a normal phone number though, not a premium one). I just tried to book from b-europe and it’s only valied for paper format passes, mine’s digital. What else can I do?
