offtopic France trains question

3 posts
Hello,
Can someone from France please tell me if I should preorder train tickets in advance or it's the same price if I buy tickets when I arrive there?
I'm travelling in Grand Est , only with TER trains.
From what I am seeing on OUI SNCF the price remains the same regarding the day.

In Austria I was surprised to pay around 70 euro for a 20 euro ticket if I preordered.

Thanks for the help!

​In italy, it's cheaper if you pre-order for trains with set-seating. For local trains, same price.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
TER train price is fix. For TGV, price is variable.
