Passenger 2: Confirmed (Booking Status: B2,69,GN)
Chart NOT Prepared

Travelling in a dynamically priced premium train for the first time. 3 AC price is equivalent to 3AC Tatkal price in Rajdhani for same route.
Lets see if its really worth the price.

A co passenger informed that although the tickets on irctc were showing price of Rs. 2500+, he managed to get it for Rs. 1700 at railway station just 10 mins before scheduled departure time.
However although he wanted to travel from Ahmedabad to Jaipur, he was forced to reserve his seat till Delhi (last stop).
But he managed to save a whopping Rs. 800 by booking directly from station that too just 10 mins before departure.

guess railway understands that its better to sell out tickets at low cost then to let it remain unoccupied as these premium dynamically priced trains really shoot up on ticket prices once the number of available tickets falls below a certain number.

Passenger 2: Waitlist# 2 (Booking Status: W/L 2,RLGN)
Chart NOT Prepared

Booked journey from Vishwamitri (VS) to Bhuj (BHUJ) for actual boarding point to be Ahmedabad.
Paid around Rs. 160 extra for 2AC but considering the tatkal charges around Rs. 315 per ticket for second AC I found this a better deal.
From Ahmedabad the wait list was around WL9 whereas from Vishwamitri I got it at WL1
