I just looked at booking some tickets from (in this case) Erfurt to Leipzig for a return on the same day. Cheapest was €14 non-refundable for specific day and trains on the slow trains (not ICE), but 'open' tickets were very expensive, as they are here. I did so for two months hence, when we will need them. I then had the idea to see what would be the case if I asked for later today for the same journeys. Exactly the same price options were quoted, so it doesn't seem worthwhile booking in advance.
Does this mean that DB doesn't do fancy advance prices, using yield management software, as ATOC and Airlines do?
