Need help with reserving train tickets!

First time to Spain - traveling in early March. I'm attempting to reserve one-way train (AVE) from Madrid to Barcelona. I've tried 3 sites (Loco2, GoEuro and Renfre) all with no luck. I can't tell if tickets are sold out, not available or if I'm just doing something wrong! From the forum it seems like there is a window to get these tickets. I'm wanting to travel on March 13 (48 days from now), not sure about which stations (touristy part of Madrid and Barcelona). Please help!

Be patient, check back everyday, the train schedule has been posted irregularly (not the standard 60 to 90 days) in advance lately. Everyone trying to book on those sites is having the same experience

I am having the same issue. I’ve checked everyday for the last month on Renfe and Loco2 with no luck(I’m trying to purchase AVE tickets from Madrid to Malaga and from Cordoba to Madrid for March 16th and 21st). I’ve asked the question on this forum as well and have been told to keep checking as they will suddenly appear.
