Booking seat reservations for a group with interrail

[jamesontheroad]

What's the best way to book seat reservations in DE/CZ/AT/SI for a group of 13 people travelling together on Interrail passes?

Looking to book:

• EC 253 06:48 Hamburg Hbf / 13:22 Praha-Holesovice
• RJ 371 14:24 Praha hl.n. / 18:49 Wien Hbf
• EC 151 07:48 Wien Hbf / 14:00 Ljubljana

Is there anywhere that lets you buy seat reservations? DB's website directs me towards their own group fare, which I don't need.

Should I just book on the DB website in two or three batches?

Thanks!

Did you click "seat reservation only (no ticket)" on the DB website?

Alternatively, OEBB should work if you add the interrail as a discount (bit of a faff as you have to add it to every passenger)

ÖBB also has an option to buy a reservation only, that would work fine as long as you're not reserving an Austria - Italy train or a Nightjet.
Both there and with DB you should be able to select seats yourself, making sure your group has seats close to eachother.

There's no IR fee for these so just do "reservation only."

ISTR the CD site will do the trains either side of Prague too.

Is there any way of doing this in one transaction, with 13 passengers? I can only find ways of booking up to 5 or 6 at a time on DB and ÖBB...

(Thanks for all the prompt responses!)

In 2nd class that doesn't make a difference but in 1st class, optional reservations are free of charge via ÖBB if you use the method to add the Interrail/Eurail discount and look for regular tickets.

I would mail them directly - I've found them pretty helpful in the past. English works!
