Online Bayern Ticket

I have purchased a Bayern Ticket on-line for travel next week. I have printed a piece of paper with the heading “Auftrag – Detailsicht”, which gives the date of purchase, date of travel, my name and a 6-digit code, which appears to be the ticket number. I have also printed what I presume is a receipt, with the date of purchase and the same 6-digit code, but no reference to the date of travel. I also have an email confirming the purchase.





We have sought the advice of a person from Germany and they couldn’t see anything else to print, but they were not familiar with the Bayern Ticket. Is the piece of paper “Aufrag-Detailsicht” sufficient for me to travel, or do I need to print something else?

Auftrag: Detailansicht means %26quot;(your) order: detailed view%26quot;. I don%26#39;t know if this is enough since it hardly ever makes sense to buy Bayern-Ticket online or in advance.



The email you received should have a link. On clicking the link you should be able to receive the same PDF file, which is the ticket. Usually, online tickets in Germany come as PDFs, are printed and taken along - no receipts necessary.

Bayern Ticket is an %26quot;off-line%26quot; ticket.



DB will ship it to your address by letter.





With some tickets bought online it%26#39;s also possible to collect them at the ticket counter or from ticket machines.



But I%26#39;ve some doubts if this is possible with online bought Bayern Tickets.





Auftrag - Detailansicht is just a (detailed) receipt for your order.



This one is not sufficient to use the train. And as the Bayern Tickets are not refundable also not of much other use.
