Help Center

If your payment was successful but you didn’t receive a ticket, there are a few possible reasons:

1. The ticket is in Advanced Reservation mode — it will be issued automatically once the supplier opens inventory (usually within 28 days of departure).

2. There was a short delay from the supplier — ticket issuance can sometimes take a few minutes after payment.

3. You may have entered the wrong email address during booking, so the confirmation couldn’t be delivered.

What to do:

• First, check your bank notification or SMS to confirm the payment

• Visit https://railmonsters.com/my-tickets and try logging in with the email or phone number you used

• If you still see nothing, contact us at [email protected]

Please include:

• The name of the passenger

• Route and date you booked

• Payment method (card, Apple Pay, etc.)

• Screenshot of your payment or transaction ID

We’ll check the logs, locate your booking, and correct the email address if needed — so you can access the ticket normally.

Payment errors can happen for a few reasons:

• Your bank blocked the transaction (especially for international payments)

• The supplier timed out or returned a temporary error

• Your card provider declined the currency or merchant type

Here’s what you can try:

1. Use another payment method (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay, or another card)

2. Make sure your bank allows international transactions

3. Wait a few minutes and try again — temporary errors sometimes clear on their own

If payment keeps failing, contact us with a screenshot — we’ll check what’s happening on our side.

This can happen when the train sells out or the supplier removes inventory while you're browsing.

Because we work with real-time inventory, results can change quickly — especially during peak travel periods or in high-demand countries.

We recommend:

• Refreshing the search to see if new trains appear

• Trying nearby times or different classes

• Booking early — especially for holidays or weekends

Our platform only shows trains that are still available to book.

Seat selection depends entirely on the supplier and route.

Some systems assign seats automatically without offering seat maps. Others allow you to choose exact seats — but only for certain classes or routes.

If seat selection isn’t available during booking, it means the supplier does not support it at the time. We’ll always show what class you’re booking and whether the seat is reserved.

Some common causes for this issue:

• A required field (like nationality or passport number) is missing — especially for routes like Portugal, China, or Saudi Arabia

• A technical block from your browser (e.g. pop-up blocker or autofill error)

• The supplier paused ticketing for the route (e.g. maintenance or demand cap)

What to try:

• Double-check all passenger fields

• Make sure each leg in your cart is still valid

• Switch browser or clear cache

• If all else fails, try restarting the search and re-adding the route

If it continues, send us a screenshot — our team can replicate the issue and help.

Not all existing routes are available for booking on Rail Monsters.

We only display routes:

• That we have access to via our connected suppliers

• Where tickets can be booked online and delivered digitally

• That are confirmed to operate for your selected date and time

If a train exists but doesn’t appear, it may be:

• Not yet released for booking

• Sold out

• Not supported by our suppliers

We constantly add new routes and regions — so it may appear in future.
