There is currently a discussion on the German-language international rail form -> https://www.drehscheibe-online.de/foren/read.php?030,10720681
According to the sales staff at in the German ticket center (DB ReiseZentrum), DB only releases only releases a total quota of 6 Interrail/Eurail tickets per train* through the DB sales channel.
* DB/SNCF cooperation high-speed train traffic (ICE/TGV Inoui):
Frankfurt - Strasbourg - Paris
Frankfurt - Saarbrücken - Paris
Stuttgart - Strasbourg - Paris
Munich - Stuttgart - Strasbourg - Paris
I do not know whether this rule also applies to the Frankfurt - Strasbourg - Lyon - Marseilles high-speed train.
If that rumour was true, that would be very bad news for Interrail/Eurail passholders.
Imagine only 6 available Interrail tickets per train during the busy summer travel season !
Until there was the belief that no quota exists for Interrail tickets at for the aforementioned trains. As long as normal-price tickets are available, Interrail tickets are still sold, as well.
Different quota may exist, when buying the Interrail ticket via the SNCF sales channel. Quotas/fares differ between the DB and SNCF sales channels.
It is not possible to book the Interrail ticket for these trains online through the DB sales channel bahn.de.
Mind you: No Interrail tickets are needed, if you use these trains wholly within Germany (e.g. Munich-Karlsruhe).
