Are reservations needed for the Mount Titlis Cable Car? I have reservations for June 24th but am thinking of canceling them and trying to just go on a day when the weather would be the best.
Thanks in advance.

Reservations are not needed and I'd be very surprised if they were offered. Maybe you have an open ticket. Are you sure that a date or time is specified?

It is just an open ticket - I wonder if it is cheaper doing it online in advance. I paid $195 for two people.

The price you paid is similar to the Engelberg-Titlis roundtrip price of 92 CHF per person to buy on the spot. The main difference is that now you "have to" go.
Most Swiss trains and mountain lifts don't need reservation or offer advance-purchase discounts. With the added factor of mountain-top weather, we don't book specific lift tickets ahead.

If you do decide to go, get there well before they open. My group arrived when they opened and there were at least 6 full tour buses already there. Lots of groups in line. I was on a RS tour so we stayed in Engleberg and walked to the cable car. it was a bit of a tussle actually getting to the cars with other group's members pushing their way to the front and onto the cars.
