With the advancement in printing technology, not only computers print the Russian train tickets, but also, bookings made online. This process is known as the computer reservation system. All you have to do is visit any Russian train ticket website or Russia's official travel website, click the link to online reservation, enter the mandatory details and take a printout of the ticket after getting confirmation of your ticket. It will be completed. You do not have to stay in a long queue for hours to book a ticket or enquire about availability of reservation. Online reservations keeps all the information's of the tourist. This system was primarily adopted for air ticket booking, but later, its use was adopted for train tickets also.

A paper ticket is necessary at the station. Boarding with just a in print copy of your train ticket reservation is not allowed in Russian trains. You have to arrive at your station of departure to the same counter where you normally book tickets, at least half-an-hour prior to the departure time. At no further fee, the ticket counter person will issue you a paper ticket. The check in counters will automatically record the desired information. Purchasing railway tickets at the Russia's official website is a less cheaper than at stations as there will be no handling fee. While booking online tickets you can also prefer the railway car and you seat of your choice. However, only some major credit cards are accepted to purchase railway tickets online. You cannot book online to Ukraine and Belarus.Some popular websites accept all credit cards after a validation procedure and they do charge a service of 250 RUB (max.) for each ticket.
