Market prices in Italy.

Market prices include ticket, seat reservation and any supplements. In addition to EuroCity ETR 470 and ETR 610 trains, this system also applies to all Italian national routes using Eurostar Italia Alta Velocità Frecciarossa, EC, IC Plus and the night trains (sleeping and couchette cars).
