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?
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
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!
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
You could also just stay overnight in Bayonne. Lots of inexpensive lodging in the vicinity of the rail station.
 
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 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.
