Dear Pilgrims,

We are planning to arrive to St Jean pied de Port tomorrow, 30/07/2016, but due to a train ticket booking mistake, instad of 7pm, we (2person) will get St Jean at 10pm.
We have no accomodation, because of the previous planned reasons, every place are sold, and also won't be able to get the credentials.

Do you have any idea what to do in this case?

Whom to contact without credentials?
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
When you arrive go directly to the Pilgrim Office at 39 rue de La Citadelle.
The office is open every day of the year from early morning until later than the last transport arrives at night; ie roughly 08:00 until 22:00. You might telephone from Bayonne to inform them of your late arrival. Their telephone is 05 59 37 05 09.

The helpful volunteers in SJPdP will provide your Credencial and when you are on site help find you accommodation. The office keeps an up to the minute list of all beds available in pilgrim albergues as well as regular tourist places.

Now all you need do is to take a deep breath and enjoy your journey! Bon chemin and Buen camino!

If everything is booked in SJPP, try to find auberges/gites or "chambres" (rooms) in Uhart-Cize. It is just 10 minutes from SJPP (actually, it is in the way to Valcarlos).
Buen camino!

You could also just stay overnight in Bayonne. Lots of inexpensive lodging in the vicinity of the rail station.
 
The ticket for the TER train is good for passage from Bayonne to SJPdP on any train for 90 days. You cannot reserve a seat on TER trains.

I don't understand the bit about making a train ticket booking error.
 
Thank you so much for the information, I officially will arrive on the 9th of December, and ill be a bit late in St Jean de Port. I hope everything going well, I am a bit scared, I has walk the camino on the summer but not in winter, and I'll be as usual alone, hope everything going well and dont have trouble with albergues ....
