Buying internal Hungary train tickets at the station

Cant help you much. I buy the tickets when I get there or I have a friend pick them up a few days before I arrive. I just checked the cost of a ticket to Pecs on line and it appears to be what I remember paying, but I cant swear to it. What I can say is the tickets are inexpensive by all standards.

When I've used MAV to check Hungarian prices for our map updates, I don't remember seeing more than one price option, so I do expect those to be the same prices you'll pay in person, e.g., roughly $10 US value from Budapest to Eger.

I guess the question was, are the tickets more expensive at the station than on line. To answer that I would have to go to the station. But like I said, my memory is that I have never paid more than about 3,200 forints for any ticket in Hungary. I generally buy 2nd class as the are short trips and the difference between the two isn't that great and first class is mostly tourists.

"...the first class is mostly tourists." I wonder who they are, ... would be interesting to see, since in Hungary I always took 2nd class between Vienna and Budapest.

They are just tourists that paid too $7.50 much for the ride and a few business folks that need the space for the laptops.

Just bought a ticket for Budapest to Prague. It cost around $39.00. I'm a senior so I guess I got a better deal (I didn't check off the "senior" box, left it as adult, but they had my age, so I got the discount). Navigating the site was a nightmare. I'm happy with the price.

I was there last week and bought a ticket from Budapest to Tata at the ticket window, the clerk spoke enough English but I think I ended up with a slightly more expensive ticket with a reserved seat going there, because when I bought my return in Tata I just got a ticket and plunked myself down in 2nd class and there was perhaps a 1,000 HUF difference in cost--not much, but interesting to note.
