Smart Price Train tickets

My two teenage daughters hope to travel from Paris to Rome without breaking the bank. I see Smart Price couchette tickets available for 35E - 60E. The desired date of travel is June 19th. We live in the US. They plan to travel for about a week in Europe before the desired train trip to Rome. They will stay at hostels and so will not have a European address. I have purchased trenitalia tickets via the internet before, but never for travel outside Italy. Is there a way to buy these tickets via the internet? Or are we stuck with waiting for them to land in Europe and hope some are still available. The price of a regular couchette is too much without the Smart Price discount is too much.

Thank you. I have considered easy-jet. I don't know how they'd get to Orly or from Ciampionon into Rome. I know I need to do a bit more checking. Also, I have read about high prices for checked luggage.

Hi M,
>Is there a way to buy these tickets via the internet?
I don't think so.
Trenitalia says:
PLEASE NOTE: your tickets can be delivered only to addresses in Italy.
and
You can collect your ticket:
At the counters marked with the logo at ticket desks in Italian train stations
>I don't know how they'd get to Orly ...
See www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/
There is bus service to Rome from Ciampino, but I'll have to let someone else give you the details.
