How do I make sure I have a ticket on a non-reserved Eurocity Direct train


The first leg of my journey involves a Eurocity direct train from Amsterdam Zuid to Bruxelles-Midi. When I looked on NS International it looks like this train could sell out but with my pass I should be able to get on this train without purchasing a separate ticket? Because there are no seat reservations how can I make sure I have a seat on this train?

I have added it to my trip on the Interrail app but I don’t see any ticket generated and I am not sure what to do. Thanks

The pass is your ticket. There's nothing else you need.

This page explains how to generate your ticket in the app. If that doesn't work for you, then please tell us at which exact step you're stuck.

Since this train doesn't have reservations, it can't sell out. I'm not sure what makes you think it could sell out, but there's usually no problem to find a seat.

You are correct in saying this - “with my pass I should be able to get on this train without purchasing a separate ticket”

You are able to get on the train and travel.

The only possible wrinkle is that you may not get a seat, but as rvdborgt says, these trains don’t normally run out of seats.  Since nobody can reserve seats on these trains you are no better or no worse off than anybody else traveling on that specific journey.
