First, I dont think there is a reseller for MAV tickets. When MAV shares a route with OBB of DBahn or the Czech Rail; well, then you can buy the ticket from either. MAV can be significantly less expensive than OBB and DBahn as they seem to sell more discounted tickets and closer up to the date of departure; but not always. For trains within Hungary I am not aware of anyone you can buy tickets from but MAV.
Okay, so, we had a post here were someone was having trouble logging into the MAV website, so I wrote MAV and asked. Hard to believe with customer service these days, but they answered me the next day. Well done MAV. But the answer. What are these guys thinking?
