Moscow train tickets -- change-able or refundable? ISO on-the-ground info.
I am going to Moscow this weekend to join a conference -- yay! But, my sponsors have hit a glitch with my visa, blah blah, now I'm leaving on a different day than I was told, after making all kinds of plans. Boo!
Problem: I purchased non-refundable and pricey train tickets round trip Moscow to St. Petersburg via TravExpress aka expresstorussia.com. The ticket confirmation document states that the tickets are non-refundable, but I wonder if I can change them at the train station? If I could change the dates on my train tickets I can recreate all of my meetings and fix my upset plans. Any intel appreciated. I have contacted the third-party agency that sold me the tickets but no answer yet.

Response by poster: Thanks, all, the visa glitch got un-glitched so this all became moot.

I'd add that you may have bought pricey tickets here in the US, but you can probably get much cheaper tickets on-the-ground. I think I paid maybe $100 or so for a train ticket, 2nd class, that included a sleeper compartment,, and this was headed to the middle of Siberia. Of course that was 7 years ago. Does look like you could get a round trip ticket for as low as $250 or so.
