Anyone know when the March Trenitalia ticket sales open?

Does anyone know when the March Trenitalia ticket sales open? I'm looking to book tickets mid to late March and I can currently book Feb 28th but choosing March 1st throws an error when I "Continue".

I know the timing is generally two months ahead but if there is a known date it would saving me checking every couple of days.

Grazie,

March is already loaded-which specific date are you looking at?
I just picked a random date last week March and can see and purchase all the trains

It is not “2 months” in advance
By Dec 11 of 12? The next 6 months should be complete

I'm trying to buy Ravenna to Roma Termini.
When I select 28 February hours 06:00 28 Feb and hit continue I get the "Log in" screen.
When I select the same train March 1st and hit continue I get a red "An error occurred banner" that pops up across the screen. This has been consistent over the last week.

Since I get the exact same behavior in the phone app: "An error occurred. Try again later." I assumed it meant they were just not actually on sale yet even though they were scheduled. I also see the very cheapest fares which I figured only existed because no one could buy them. This is from the west coast if the US.

If you can get the purchasing page from the continue button I'm not sure why I can't in either the website or the app...

Tod,
you are right. Regional train tickets are usually only available about 60 days in advance. Your first portion from Ravenna is a regional train.
But don't worry. These tickets can't sell out. You don't have to check them daily.

You can already book the second portion (=highspeed) if you want.

This is not correct.
Regional tickets are available at least as far as June 1- that's the last date I just checked.
True- no need to book in advance but the tickets and schedule are already loaded that far out.

Tod- I am using the app and just checked March 1- Ravenna to Roma Terrmini- there are lots of options offered all for purchase. Most are regional to Bologna then fast train to Rome.

@ChristineH and when you hit "Continue" or "Proceed" (in the app) does it take you to ticketing information or throw an error?
For me it only throws an error if it is a mixed ticket. I just tried fast trains only on the website and it took me to ticketing.

Fast train only tickets appear to be working so I'll go ahead and book what it will let at this point. I'll just make a note of what regionale trains I'll need to buy there to match up with my booked tickets.

Thanks all,

No idea where Christine is located (and if she is really using Trenitalia, and not Trainline f.ex.)
But here in Belgium I have the same issue. No booking possible from 1 March on.
But I can book the Frecciarossa separately.

@ Windyram Thanks, fast train only tickets appear to be working so I'll go ahead and book what it will let at this point.

I hadn't thought about all my big legs being mixed local and fast tickets - except making sure I have enough time to delve into the depths of Bologna station - so I never was checking fast trains only. Discount tickets here I come! ;)

Thanks all,
