Why can't I find Paris - Strasbourg tickets for July?

[urpert]

I need to travel from Paris to Strasbourg on 10th July, returning on 23rd. I've tried TGV-Europe, Captain Train and Loco2 but none of them can find any tickets - they return an error message which suggest that the booking horizon isn't open yet (even though it's clearly less than 3 months away). There don't appear to be any engineering works affecting the LGV Est on either of those dates. I've tried asking Voyages SNCF on Twitter but they are useless. Any experts on here have any ideas?

At this rate I'm going to have to go to Trainseurope at St Pancras and see if they can find anything!

Due to the delayed-opening of the 2nd stage of the LGV EST, tickets to Strasbourg and all other stations served by the new line for travel this summer will only be released on 12 May, see here: http://aide.voyages-sncf.com/ouverture-des-ventes

Thank you so much. I wonder why nobody 'official' could tell me that. I'll try again on Thursday!

Next time you could try tweeting Captain Train, they are usually quite responsive in both French and English...

Tickets are usually released by SNCF around 6am (7am BST) so if you want the best prices it's worth getting up early.
