Booking Glacier Express Ticket with an existing reservation

We booked and paid for reservations on the Glacier Express a few weeks ago before the tickets were available to purchase. We are trying to book the actual tickets today since the booking period is open on glacierexpress.ch. It won't let us proceed without paying for another reservation. Where do we book just the tickets? Thank you!
PS: tomorrow we have to do the same thing for the Bernina Express-haven't even attempted to look at that one yet!

I gather from your previous threads that you have a half fare card.
Use SBB.ch/en and purchase whatever is cheaper between:
- a Saver Day Pass for the half-fare card (matching the class of your seat reservation!)
- a ticket with Half-fare card discount

The website will automatically offer the cheapest option. And the price of Saver Day Passes increases as the date gets closer, so you are right to buy soon!

Since you have reservations, my understanding is that you can just purchase the tickets at a train station when you are in Switzerland. Please correct me if I am wrong as we have reservations on Glacier, Bernina, and Golden Pass for our trip in September. We will have the 2nd class Swiss Pass but chose to upgrade to first class for the panorama trains.
