I want to ride the train from my hometown to Seattle, WA to visit some friends. If I order my ticket online, its $29.00. Thats fine. But then it costs $15.00 just to mail the little ticket to me!! I figured I would be able to just go down, and get it right at the station that the Amtrack stops in where I live and get it there a few days in advance to avoid that fee.
I’m guessing I can, but would like to double check. Thanks!

It wasnt a dumb question. you were curious thats all
and to answer your question you can go to the station to get the ticket and u save money. But it might be slightly croweded so be prepared
Yes you can
You can buy your ticket at the station just before you get on the train, but turn up early in case there’s a queue at the booking office. You should also be able to get the ticket a few days in advance.
Btw I can’t understand why it costs nearly half as much again to mail the ticket to you.
In the UK we have a system where if you book a ticket online, you are given a unique reference number. When you get to the station, you type your number into a machine and it prints the ticket for you. It doesn’t cost any more than if you bought it at the station.
