SNCF TGV ticket price decrease

Posted by (Queens, NYC) on

I'm looking at a Paris-Toulouse train on a day in June and the train that best fits my schedule is a TGV Inoui train, which is going for a bit of a higher price in 2nd class (€92) than I would have expected this far out.

My question is -- I know this train fare can rise, but will it ever decrease?

My schedule is not very flexible for this particular trip and if this is the lowest it will ever be, I will just go ahead and buy it. But I wanted to check just in case! (I know there are other, cheaper options on this route and on the day I am looking. For a variety of reasons I have pretty strict timing preferences for this trip.)

As Bets says, it won't decrease, and once the 92€ tickets have sold out, there will only be more expensive ones available. and so on, until there aren't any tickets at all available.

Well -- that's pretty clear! I will go ahead and book then. Thank you Bets and Kim!

Andrew, thanks so much answering my post the other day regarding the tickets to Bordeaux. I got an SNCF alert yesterday that tickets were available, but after your alert, I just put in the cities rather than the stations. Apparently, the route on May27th has been moved for departure from Gare Montparnasse to Gare Austerlitz.

Kim & Bets - thanks for the reminder that tickets go up in price, not down. I got mine booked yesterday.

Patty -- answering your post was actually what reminded me that I should take a look at train tickets for my own trip, and hence this question!

(I am attending a wedding in that area of France, so this trip has been planned for a long time now and why the scheduling is not flexible on my end.)
