Hello! I apologize if this has been asked before, but I could not find an answer to my exact question. I need to get from Venice to Salzburg on the night train on July 4th. Even though the new timetables are now out on Trenitalia's website and this route shows up, it says n/a for the fare and I cannot purchase tickets. I can however, purchase tickets through OBB. Can I actually do that, or do I need to buy the tickets through Trenitalia since the journey starts in Italy? Trenitalia does sell tickets for the night train for earlier dates (pre-summer timetable), so should I wait as tickets through Austria's site seem to be more expensive? Thank you!

You can book your tickets on the Austrian Rail site and you can print them yourself.

While I normally like to purchase tickets from my departure country (when possible) in case of any problems/schedule changes, I'd get it now from Austria. I purchased from them a few months ago, and the process was very straight-forward and worked like a charm once on the train! The longer you wait, the more full the train gets, and the more expensive your ride becomes.
