After much confusion I have worked out how to reserve our night trains (mainly CityLine ones) however I am a bit confused with the ticket options.
I want to get the online tickets as Im not sure they will arrive in time otherwise, however I'm trying to book for me and my boyfriend (so that we are together) and it says on the online ones that the purchaser must be the person using the reservations, am I OK to book for both of us or would we have to book separately?
Sorry if this is a really stupid question, just don't want to book all of these for the two of us then find out that he should have booked his separately.

Hi.
No, you don't have to book separately. You as purchaser must be the person using the reservations - but you can add other travellers on your booking. So you can book for you both together.

Thank you for your reply.
Just one more question, we did not book early enough to arrange postage of tickets, we were able to print our copenhagen-berlin train however the others cannot be printed. Will we be ok just booking these at the train station the day before? We are getting the Oslo-Bergen (and then Bergen-Oslo) night trains, Berlin-Budapest and Budapest-Prague night trains?
Thank you!

Hi.
For the night train [b]Bergen - Oslo[/b] and return, not reservation is required - but it is recommended. Please read here:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/oslo-bergen-rt-605/102[/u]
[b]Berlin - Budapest - Prague[/b]: you can never preview if a train is full or not. But if you want, you can make the reservation for Berlin - Budapest and Budapest - Prague already in Oslo at the central railway station. :)
And if no free places are available anymore, travel by day train. You will find inexpensive hostels in Berlin, Budapest and Prague.

Hi,
we travelled Oslo - Bergen - Oslo with night trains in August 2010 and got our reservations each time on the day of departure. Note that they are not compulsory as Peter said; you can also always ask the conductor for free seats since they carry a list of booked seats with them. :)
