So I thought I was purchasing a ticket from Berlin to Prague at the end of July with a 40-hour stopover in Dresden. I was pleasantly surprised how inexpensive the tickets were. However, I realized I only purchased "seat reservations" and didn't actually purchase the train ticket. I purchased these through the Bahn DE website.
However, when I try to purchase the exact same tickets, when I click to get the pricing (i have to enter my age), I get an error saying this: "We are sorry, but we cannot sell your requested journey online. Please find further information in our contact details.
Alternatively, we are happy to offer you the Interrail Pass for the most flexible travel experience in Europe."
But I don't need an interrail pass as I just need to get from Berlin to Prague (one way) with a stop in Dresden. Should I buy my tickets elsewhere and not through Bahn DE?
I like the train options for the seats that I reserved. My question is...if I buy the tickets separately, do my seat reservations still work?
I looked on Rail Europe and it will only give me the same train options if I purchase as individual tickets (Berlin-Dresden, and Dresden-Prague). When I try to to a layover, I get some of the same train options but not the one for which I have a seat reserved. So I'm willing to buy two one way tickets if that's what I need to do.
Any help or suggestions on how to navigate this? I'm still more than a month out but since it's high season, and I have seat reservations, I want to lock down the tickets now (assuming my seat reservation will still work).
