I took a ticket for the Rome-Munich route with a change in Bolzano through the Rail Planner App. The Bolzano-Munich train is the EuroCity Brenner 86 which leaves at 12.34 on August 1st. The only problem is that no seats are available on this train. Can I reserve a seat on the EuroCity Brenner at 2.34pm instead even though it says 12.34 on my ticket?

Hello! Thank you for your question. Please accept my apology for the late response.

I would say that this is up to you, but of course availability cannot be guaranteed. In case you are adamant you need one, I would suggest making a reservation for the next available train on the timetable. 

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Annie

I know this train do have only optional reservation, but in Summer it is highly recommend to buy a reservation. My question was another and I think you should read the questions better before answering.
