Are advanced tickets for train to SJPDP necessary?

Time of past OR future Camino
June (2016)
We will be traveling from Bayonne to SJPDP to begin our Camino on Saturday, June 10th. We are able to book train tickets online, but there is a booking fee.

We need to make sure that we make it there on that day - but want to find out if the train is overbooked regularly. If it is not, we will skip the booking fee.

Thanks!

Reservations are not necessary for the local TER line 62 train from Bayonne to SJPdP. Seating is open as on a tram. When you arrive in Bayonne you may purchase your ticket at the railroad station either from a machine using your credit card or from a live clerk who will take cash or card.

Bon voyage and Buen camino!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The sooner you buy your ticket at the station the better.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
