I'm trying to make a seat reservation for the TGV 6035 from Paris Gare de Lyon to Montpellier Saint-Roch at 15:12-18:41 on 22/05. The Eurail website says that prices are unavailable for this train.
If I try to book through travel.b-europe.com instead, there are still some available seats. However, in order to book my seat, the website requests a Pass Cover number in the "Ticket Details" section. Since I have a mobile Eurail pass, I do not have a Pass Cover number and am unable to complete the reservation.
How can I receive a Pass Cover Number? Is there an alternative way to book a seat on this train?

Last August, I tried to book reservations via them and the agent informed me they had just decided (!) not to sell Interrail reservations anymore via phone.
Some months after that, people reported they could buy reservations again from SNCF by phone.
In any case, there is no technical reason why it wouldn't be possible.
I managed to get my situation resolved by calling the train company direct in Belgium. They were very helpful indeed and allowed me to make the reservation and pay by credit card over the phone.
I initially tried the French Rail company as the whole journey is in France but it is a Belgian train for some reason. They were insistent that I couldn’t make seat reservations over the phone so it is confusing I’m afraid.

You've been lied to by SNCF staff. I've since seen new messages from people who booked their Interrail reservations via the SNCF phone service. Whose train it is, is irrelevant (but domestic trains in France are not operated by Belgian railways).
Pleased to say the pass cover numbers turned up at 8:23 am today by email.
It would appear that Customer Services don’t work over the weekend so couldn’t respond to our email but have done it at the first available opportunity.
Hello everyone, me and three friends have been planning a train trip through Europe in July. We all have our Interrail mobile passes ready. We have now gotten around to booking seats on some of the trains, but have struggled to book high speed trains from Amsterdam to France on July 6th. The seats seem to be fully sold out on the Interrail website, leaving us the option of instead booking via travel.b-europe.com. However, one member of our group didn’t receive the same confirmation mail as the rest of us - his is lacking the Pass Cover number that is required for booking seats via external non-Interrail websites. We are positive that he bought an Interrail pass and not a Eurail pass. He is the only one of us with this issue and he has not been able to reach Interrail customer support.
Here’s the info about the specific trains I’m trying to book:
Amsterdam Centraal (13:15) - Paris Nord (16:38)
Paris Gare de Lyon (17:37) - Marseille-St-Charles (20:57)
both on date: 06/7 - 2022
They don’t seem to be sold out on b-europe.com, so the only thing stopping me from making the reservations is that I need my friend’s passcover number!
@Magdalena you seem to have been able to help people in the past with this issue, is there any chance you could help us as well? We would greatly appreciate any guidance, however small!
@Magdalena Hi! Can you help me with the same problem? I need a Pass Cover Number for seat reservation. I already sent a message to custom service, but I did’t receive any answer. My travel starts in one week. Thank you!
