Can you buy a ticket on the Öresund train?

Where to buy your Öresundståg ticket and what to carry on the train.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

No, you cannot buy a ticket on board an Öresundståg train, so you need a valid ticket before you board. Ticket machines are available at every Swedish station where the trains call, and also at Copenhagen Central Station and Copenhagen Airport.

Why

  1. According to Öresundståg, it is not possible to purchase tickets on board the train.
  2. Öresundståg says ticket machines are available at every Swedish station where its trains call, and at Copenhagen Central Station and Copenhagen Airport.
  3. According to Öresundståg, a ticket bought in a county transport app must be activated before the train's original departure time.

Details

Öresundståg says the ticket must be shown alongside a valid ID at inspection, and its website says border controls of passengers entering Sweden are currently being carried out. For other Danish stations, the page refers you to DSB. For the border rules, see whether you can travel to Denmark from Sweden without a passport and bridge and trains Øresund.

Tip

Buy your ticket on the Öresundståg website, in an app or at a machine before you board, and activate an app ticket before the train's original departure time. For more, see Skånetrafiken to Øresund.

What may differ

Children under 16 need not identify themselves at inspection, and for Danish stations other than Copenhagen Central and Kastrup the page refers you to DSB.

Common misconception

You can buy a ticket from the conductor on the Öresund train.

What actually happens

Öresundståg says it is not possible to purchase tickets on board the train, so buy before boarding.
