Renfe web tickets

[eze]

Hello friends,

Before i become crazy, i contact you all in order to get info.
I have been trying hard to purchase two tickets from Madrid to Sevilla with AVE, one way, for the day of March 8th 5pm train.
Everytime, Renfe answer that there is no train at all during that day (prior day and following day is the same actually);
How could i, to day or to morrow, purchase those two tickets (web prices if available) in advance.
Renfe advertise a possible anticipated purchase from 60 days before the date of travel.
To day,l available tickets for instance are for the date of Jan 30 and nothing else...
I have tried on a windows system and on a mac system with equivalent zero results..

Please help me

Thanks to you all

Just to say that i have just bought my tickets on Renfe site.

Renfe, yesterday,(Jan 14th 2010) has updated the timetable with only two trains for 8 March 2010.

This morning, they updated the whole list of trains. This afternoon, i have been able to buy my ticket for the desired trains. I had been trying for a good number of days...It confirms that their reservation system is not ready to customers 62 days before the date of travel, as they advertise it...

Anyway, I wish to say that Renfe web reservation system worked without any problem.
They also sent a mail confirmation. I did my reservation on a Mac computer on Firefox.

Rendons à César...

Hi, Eze,

Thank you so VERY much! I just got on the RENFE site and bought a ticket on the AVE from Madrid to Sevilla for 32E. That compares pretty nicely to the posted "Tarifa General" rate of about 80E. I was able to buy tickets for April 30, by the way, so availability seems to go out further than 62 days. I saw that one of the earlier trains was already sold out for the web fare, so these tickets must go quickly.

My credit card charge appears to have worked perfectly and I was able to print out the ticket without a problem.

I really appreciate your posting this. Laurie
