I see: Fare (Outward and return journey) (for two persons)
Normal fare 367,00 EUR
Savings fares from 209,50 EUR
How will I get a savings fare?
they have a 4 day latency for mailing tickets to
outside Germany in case
you can't choose to print the ticket(s) yourself (bank account vs.
credit-card) !
If I order them from Russia by mail, there is a 99.999% probability I
will never see them :)
Can I just order the tickets in Berlin, 5 days before the trip, for
example and still get the discount?
Sorry for stupid questions, but this ticket system is not that easy to
understand.

most probably not!
they do have an contingent of cheap tickets, and it is mostly sold some
weeks before.
a cheap way to come to cologne from berlin is a bus, have a look at the
"zob-berlin", it is the central-(omni)bus-station and it is not far away
from the TU-berlin. i think that it coasts about 30€ and takes perhaps 6
hours, since cologne is about 600km far away from here.
cheers,
doc

We're talking trains here. All countries are the same. They spend a
fortune developing ticketing systems that no human can comprehend :(

In Russia it is much simpler and (sure) cheaper. There are some
discounts if you are buying ahead of time, but no more than 20%. It
does not matter will you return or not, moreover buying tickets in one
city to the train from another one is a bit more expensive.
Tickets to Moscow-St.Peterburg trains (650km), depending on a train
speed/class, are from $25 (8 hours) to $100 (5 hours).
But there are cheaper suburb-trains (they are near-distance, but you
can take the next one, going farther, then the next, etc..), where you
can escape buying a ticket and give about $2 to the controller (if you
are unlucky enough to meet one). I haven't traveled with such a method
for a long time, but most of people here use it for going from Moscow
to the nearest cities (in ~250km radius).
Hmmm, having written all that I see it is not that simpler here... It
is trickier, if you are cheap :)

In Thailand it costs 5 euro to travel in a non aircon seat for 10 hours.
You only need to book ahead before public holidays. If you want aircon it
is about 20 euro for a first class ticket with sleeping room etc... No LCD
walls though and no bullet trains either but they do bring your beer and
food to you so you don't have to move at all for a whole trip unless you
want to.
