We have train tix from Santiago to Madrid on Thursday, May 25 that we can no longer use. I bought via Rome to Rio and the Tix says non refundable. Does anyone know if we can go to the Renfe and get a refund or if there is a resell site? Thx

Normal case is non refundable is non refundable.
In many cases it is also dedicated to a single person.

Your tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. RENFE did not sell you the ticket so they are not in the game

Rome2Rio doesn’t actually sell tickets, so it would have been a company they referred you to instead. I think you are still out of luck, but start with what company actually handled that purchase (check your credit card). And while it’s likely non-transferable, they’ve never asked for ID when checking my ticket so you might find someone willing to use them knowing that risk. Finally, the tickets MAY be changeable which means you can possibly change the date to a future time you’ll be traveling. Again, that will depend on who you bought them through.

R2R doesn’t sell tickets. OMIO, the parent company does. That’s why they acquired R2R.

I mean can you buy a ticket at the day of departure, via Segovia or something else.

I urge you to do some research on RENFE and maybe Trainline. Via Segovia you will almost certainly need to book at least a couple of days in advance. RENFE is refusing to admit that there is a direct train once a day. Pre-booking may not be necessary on that journey or it may have been de-scheduled. If I was on my computer I’d look harder but on a phone it’s too much of a struggle. No tickets for July available yet anyways

Probably not; often booked out. Cheaper and more certain to book in advance when released for sale.
