Hello,
After booking a Deutsche Bahn online ticket, I realized that I had swapped my first and last names on the ticket. Could this cause problems if I have to identify myself on the train using my Bahncard? (Tickets are non-transferable)
Many thanks in advance!

Loading...I think most ARMY's have already heard 🫂 that "Agust D TOUR 'D-DAY' THE MOVIE" will be broadcast worldwide from April 10th. What surprises me is that the notification about the new movie (on Weverse) said it would be shown in theaters or something… The main picture of the movie also said "IN THEATERS AND…
Has anyone ever been to Denver, Colorado? Is it beautiful, and what's worth seeing there?
Are there any tricks for booking flights if I want to return to Europe at a reasonable price? The flight out of Europe costs about 300-400 euros, but the return flight costs 600-700 euros.
MY GOD!!!
You need to buy a new ticket!
No, no, fun aside :oP
This should probably be seen by every person with 3 brain cells that this was a name-driver – with the train I am not sure of the 3 cells;-)
Well, yes, if the controller doesn’t get it: NOT PAYING! Someone on the way over the executive to the judicative will surely notice that the legislative has already provided for this in your favor. (Or, in other words, the police will not arrest you and will not condemn the court – so it wants the law.) This would make a controller himself a donkey.
If, of course, you want to voluntarily enter the switch string to pay extra switch fees, this is also your right.
Save it & good ride!

@MarkusGenervt:
Your answer is complete nonsense. The online ticket is not personal. The personal identification of the buyer (not the traveler) is only necessary to check the authenticity of the ticket. It is checked whether the barcode (this black-and-white image) on the ticket and the ID number, in this case the railway card number, are “compatible”. The number appears in the barcode somehow (i.e. possibly encrypted). This can be seen by the reading device of the train companion / controller. If he finds that barcode and ID number are “incompatible”, the online ticket is fed, and then and only then, you get problems.
@LordFlashback:
Whether your name is written incorrectly or correctly doesn’t matter at all. It is important whether you or another buyer have correctly specified your or its railway card number. If another one bought your online ticket, it would have to travel (with another ticket).
Again: The ticket is transferable. The problem is that the buyer has to travel so that the ticket can be recognized as real.
I have recently had a similar problem. I bought two online tickets with my Bahncard-ID and received the same false information from MarkusGenervt. The train worker at the switch knew and there were no problems at all on the train. I was with my Bahncard and so both online tickets could be recognized as real. My companion could, of course, travel with the ticket I bought.
