| Tickets can be purchased at all train stations, selected
tourist centers and the KNTC Tourist Information Center.
Tickets can be purchased up to 3 months in advance, and
it is very strongly recommended to purchase tickets in
advance if planning to travel during holidays or peak
seasons.
Passengers can get various discounts on tickets depending
on days of the week: 15% on Tue./Wed./Thur. (all day)
and 5% on Mon./Fri. (before 6PM). Fares vary by class:
first- and second-class and bedroom section. After purchasing
a ticket at a station, go to a gate that your ticket
indicates. After passing the gate, get on a train with
a number that your ticket also indicates for fast seating.
If your ticket is for no seating, you can get on any
train with any number (you are to stand in the aisle
between seats to your destination unless there is an
empty seat). In Seoul Station, there is an information
center for foreign tourists that you can purchase tickets
and ask questions on traveling in Korea |
