TGV tickets Bern rail station on Sunday
 
Want to purchase TGV tickets from Bern(e) to Dijon using SBB website, choosing "pickup at rail station" option. But my travel day is on a Sunday and it appears that the international/TGV ticket office at Bern rail station is not open.

My question: can I pickup these tickets at the regular/Swiss/national ticket office in the Bern station?

There isnīt an "international/TGV ticket office" in Bern. You can pick it up anywhere on a rail station, or better, in the SBB travel office in the station.
Or, if you like some peace of mind, just pass by the station on a saturday?

Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I'll be "up in the mountains" on Saturday, so I can't get to the station then. Could get to someplace like Interlaken station though.

It doesnīt really matter - the distinction between "international" and "domestic" windows is purely for "crowd control". They all have the smae computers accessing the same booking system. I have regularly bought my tickets to Germany and France from domestic counter in Zürich. Sometimes, if the lines are long, you get a reproachful "please, next time go to the int. counter"
