Go to the site http://www.trenitalia.com, determine the day when you are going to go, consider the prices are floating, even depend on the day of the week, determine the route, departure time, then do not forget, there are different tariffs, a very cheap Mini tariff , you can buy more and more online, follow all the steps step by step and to the end, if you book, then do not pay until your personal code is displayed. Use it at the box office and from the conductor to get a ticket. I repeat, do not leave until you receive the code site and do not pay by card, otherwise the money will freeze and there will be no ticket.

And what code do you mean, confirmations? As far as I remember, no one will send a code until you pay with a card. The main thing is to register on the site before buying, because you can buy without registration, and if after payment the code did not come, then you can look for a ticket in your account on the site. I always came, open the box on Google, letters always come to the post office (from my experience). I didn’t buy this year, maybe something has changed, the look of the site is for sure)))), but judging by the purchases on other sites, the payment confirmation code is sent after the money is withdrawn from the card.

I’ll add that you don’t need to receive a ticket at the box office (you can, but why), set the option to receive it electronically, or they send you a barcode or a code that you show to the controller on the train and he gives you a check ticket. It still depends on the type of train, of course, but at the bottom when buying there are options from which you need to choose the method of obtaining tickets, in electronic form, on board at the controller and the third, I don’t remember already, in the machine. I always took an option from the conductor-controller, you show the code, you get a ticket right on the train

Why buy tickets in advance? Suddenly something does not work out and the ticket will be lost. It is better to look up the schedule online or in any major city in Italy at the train station and plan your trip. And you can buy a ticket already on the spot, even at the box office, even in the machine. How to do this, I described in detail in my story about a trip to Italy (search by nickname).

That's right, until this year everything is as fialca writes. Even at the beginning of the year I took it that way, but just a couple of months after they changed their site and now there is such a mess on the site. My friend's money was frozen and he did not receive a barcode , no papers confirming the purchase of the ticket. Therefore, do not pay anything until the code is displayed. We had to Skype to look for his money in negotiations with Trenitalia.))) And then buy in advance that the Mini fare is very cheap tickets, look at their website)) ) I plan everything in advance, and it’s convenient for you.

Thanks Alex, I understand. I saw that they changed the site, I just don't need train tickets this year. And I’ll support you, on the same site you can see the difference between the base price and the mini fare, we traveled from Venice to Rome with a Eurostar for 29 euros, with a base price of about 85 euros. Multiply by the number of tickets and you will understand why.))))

And I, considering that, I went to Venice for the carnival in its last days, there were no Mini tickets at all, I had to take them at the base price to Rome, then everyone took them at the Mini tariff, the savings are significant. By the way, this tariff can also be asked at the box office, but for three days before the trip and tickets are non-refundable, so you need to plan everything clearly.
