Ok, I am planning to take a trip to california by train in July, I was planning on buying my train ticket at the train station
Is it cheaper to by in advance or buy on the day your leaving?
I'm doing round trip btw
Answer :
You have it backwards. Any discounts you may get are if you purchase the tickets well in advance. Buying at the last minute can be risky because the train may be sold out.
Answer :
The answers above mine are correct. Amtrak offers discounts for early purchases, with the prices going steadily up the closer you get to your travel date.
Also, you seem to believe that there will be plenty of seats still available on your travel date. Particularly for long-distance trains, they often sell out well in advance. If you wait too long to purchase your ticket, you will likely find yourself shut out.
The time to purchase your ticket is now. Here's a link to Amtrak's website:
