Not available for booking? TGV tickets

I am trying to reserve 2 seats on the train from St Pierre des Corps to CDG for 21Sep. There are 2 columns listed and they look to be the same train..same time. On one column it says "not available for booking"..one the other column it shows 59euro for 2 tickets, but it is in green, not the yellow of the day before. It is within the 3 month time. Is there a problem or should I just go ahead and book today for the one that shows available?

Yes, book now for the one that is available. The Prem's fare tickets (yellow) are now sold out. If you wait much longer, the Loisir fare tickets will be gone too and you'll have to pay full fare.

Thanks, Tim. I took your advice and reserved the tickets, no problem. I have been watching this date and route for a few months now, never did see Prem fares available...maybe not on this route? Just can't figure why schedule for only THAT date reads "not available for booking" and isn't in yellow, like the other dates. Any thoughts? But we DO have the confirmation and that is all that really matters!!

You are correct, Donna. When you said "yellow", I assumed that there were Prem's because that is the color I've always seen associated with them. I have no idea why the color is blue for a 2nd class Loisir Reduced Fare on 21 September but yellow for 20 September and 22 September. On the other hand, green is the color for a 1st class Loisir Reduced fare on all the days in question.

In any event, you have your confirmation number so you're good to go!
