In order to solve this inconvenience, it has been possible to purchase tickets for standing seats through Korail Talk for a while now. In addition to this, we will take a look at the Korail Talk functions that allow you to purchase tickets for seats + standing seats and seats + seats. (Introduced based on KTX reservation.)
If train tickets are sold out, if you look at Korail Talk, you can sometimes see trains where you can purchase seats + seats or seats + standing. If you think of going from Seoul to Busan by KTX, there are no seats in all sections from Seoul to Busan, but if you look at each section – For example, if the section from Seoul to Daejeon is sold out, but from Daejeon to Busan there are seats left – By section Seats may be available. A seat + seat or seat + standing seat purchase is what you can purchase in these cases.
These combined tickets have been in service through Korail Talk since around March of last year. Taking the screenshot ticket as an example, it is a ticket that allows you to travel from Seoul to Daejeon Station as a standing seat, and from Daejeon Station to Busan Station while sitting in the corresponding seat. . If you want to sit on the train you want, even for a little bit, you can buy a train ticket with the corresponding sign on it.
KORAIL operates a non-reserved seat system only for KTX (KTX-Sancheon), ITX-Saemaeul (Saemaeul), ITX-Cheongchun, and commuter trains. This seat can be used by commuter pass holders who regularly commute by train, passengers who have not been assigned a seat, or passengers who use Tomorrow. However, not all trains sell non-reserved seats. Trains operating from 8:02 to 17:00 based on the departure station do not operate the non-reserved seat system, and non-reserved seats are sold only on weekdays (Monday-Friday) trains. there is.
Non-reserved seat tickets can be purchased only if seats on the train are sold out. As in the example in the screenshot, if all seats are sold for a train that operates non-reserved seats, you can see a non-reserved seat display appearing. Only in this case can you reserve a non-reserved seat ticket through KORAIL Talk. Non-reserved seats are usually operated for 1-2 cars (KTX car 18, KTX-Sancheon car 8, 18), and non-reserved seat tickets are 5% cheaper than tickets with reserved seats.
For trains that do not operate non-reserved seats as mentioned above (trains that operate between 8:02 and 17:00 based on the departure station on weekdays and all trains that operate on weekends), you can purchase a standing ticket if the seats are sold out. Standing tickets can be purchased at a 15% discount compared to tickets with assigned seats.
In the case of KTX or KTX-Sancheon, you can see that there is a simple chair next to the room door, and you can sit on it and travel. In the case of KTX, unlimited standing tickets are not sold, and if all standing tickets are sold, you can see that the sold out sign appears. Since you can travel on , please refer to it when booking train tickets 🙂
