Walk up FIP card fares for DB?

[itomx]

Hi all,

I am an active staff member with a FIP card (reduced rate travel)
I will be going to Germany & Norway at some point this year and had some questions over the use of the card, DB is the more important one for me.
I would like to know if I have to book my travel through bookmyrst.com or if I can walk up to a ticket office in those countries and get the reduced rate ticket there and then without pre booking as I won’t know the times of the trains I wish to catch until the day of travel.

thanks!

You can buy them at a DB ticket office and online, see the section about Germany on the RDG's Europe and FIP page.
Do keep in mind that on a smartphone with the DB Navigator app installed, you'll probably be forwarded to this app, and there I don't expect this to work.

Queues at DB ticket offices can be long and slow. Give yourself PLENTY of time

Surprisingly it does actually seem to work.
