Hello Gordon1
If you have not received an e-mail, and you are sure to have entered the e-mail correctly, the purchase was not successful. Your credit card must support 3D-secure in order to successfully buy tickets.
The payment has been taken from my account.
- Not in this case, the amount has been reserved and will again be released in the next hours.
Please retry.
There is actually no need to reserve seats from Basel to Interlaken Ost, I do not know a Swiss who does that, unless one is travelling as a group with more than 10 people. The train offers enough available seats. Seat reservations are only recommended for panoramic trains, for some they are even mandatory.
Best regards,
Roland
