Hello!
Now I'm trying to arrange a ticket from Barcelona Sants - Murcia Del Carmen.
Acctually we're leaving the train one stop before Murcia Del Carmen, but I guess that isn't that important.
The train that I'm talking about is:
TLG 1171 Departing Barcelona at 17:00 and arriving Murcia at 23:43.
When I look this up at the railcc shop for passholders, the system gives me a price of 21€,
but when i look at the raileur*pe site, it gives me a total of 128$, which is approximately 90€.
I do off course want to book these tickets at the railcc shop, but the problem is that we're in Nice at
the moment, and i don't have time to wait for them in the mail.
In addition I was told by the train station in Nice, that they can't book tickets for me in Spain.
So my question is:
If I buy these tickets at either the railcc or the raileur*pe site, will I be able to print them at the hotel, or in
any way collect them before I board the train in Barcelona?
Or do I have to wait until we get to Spain top book these tickets there?

Hi!
I guess you are currently travelling with an InterRail ticket, right? Then it is the best solution to give RENFE a call and order the reservations online - at RENFE they should be 6,50€ per person.
SNCF should be able to sell them, but there seems to be a booking stop at the moment as DB and ÖBB cant sell reservations for Spain either at the moment.
So, make the reservations via phone (reservations have to be picked up at a RENFE station within 72 hours after purchase and 24 hours before departure): :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/spain-renfe-online-reservation-how-to/f4995[/u]

Thanks flow, but the problem is that those trains are filling up fast, and I don't want to be stuck in Barcelona..
(Party because I'm a Real Madrid fan :D )
So I don't mind paying a bit extra if I could get a e-ticket or something..
Is that possible?

In addition we're just passing through Barcelona, so it's impossible for us to pick the tickets up 72 hours after purchase, and in addition 24 hours prior to departure...
Unless there's a Renfe station in Nice ?
Thanks

At RailEur*pe the reservations probably cost more than they do at a station - but if you want them and they have them get them there.
There is no RENFE station outside Spain.
Maybe try again at the station in Nice or at another station (Marseille, Montpellier,...) on the way to Spain. What is your planned route?
