Deutsche Bahn ticket suddenly three times more expensive?
I'm really upset right now. I wanted to book yesterday, and the ticket ended up being three times as expensive. That's pretty outrageous, happening on the same day.
Yesterday it was 80.00 euros from Cologne to Stuttgart for 6 people and then when I wanted to book in the evening in peace it was 320.00 euros, really disgusting.
Do you have any tips on what to do? Are there any tricks?
I heard something about buying a group ticket at the counter. Is this 9.90 euros per person?

The first question
Ticket prices are calculated by quota. The longer you wait with a booking, the more expensive it becomes. That’s normal.
The second question
I have a tip, buy the ticket directly when you see it is cheap.
The third question
Group tickets are available only from 6 people. Children under 6 need no ticket, only one seat reservation.
Sooo… I just looked and compared prices. If you were going on Friday, the cheapest ride would cost almost 120€ with 5 adults + 1 child ü6. You can simply specify when booking that 5 adults are driving and if necessary. In control, the two others have become ill.
If you buy the ticket via the navigator, you will pay almost 180€ for the same ride. Of course, there were 3 adults and 1 child ü6.

Here is the travel portal for group tickets

If you can imagine driving IC instead of ICE.
from 227.70. Because only four people are calculated. Group tickets are only available from six people. Why? Children under the age of six travel free of charge
But you can just look in October, then the whole thing gets from 83.70€
Or you can book the group ticket with 5 adults + 1 child 6-14 and say in the control that the others have become sick.
This will make the ticket cheaper.
hmmm can also be done if the controller is to
Well, what does he want to do? It’s corona. The test was positive day before.
You can also book the group ticket online.
For 6 adults Cologne-Stuttgart, for example from €25.90 per person.
You have certainly overlooked 80€ from Cologne to Stuttgart for 6 people
with the Deutsche Bahn would have surprised me personally
No actually wanted to book and then I thought I’d do it in the evening. All day I watch the price and in the evening Boom 300€ Euro 6 people
3 adult 3 children two are under 6
