Yes, the commuter trains are busy in the morning.  Maybe it's my bias, I'd put up with almost anything to get an extra hour or two in Rome.

 

There is a 7:44 from Civitavecchia that gets to Roma S. Pietro at 8:25, or one at 7:58, arrives 8:54, or 8:42 arrives 9:25, or 8:57 arrives 9:54.  All of these get you there ahead of the CE, and each costs less than half of the CE fare.

 

I wait until I'm at the station and buy the BIRG ticket from the newsstand in the station.  This 12 euro ticket gives me round trip train fare (on the regional trains only), which is worth 9,20 euro, plus all day buses, metros and trams in Rome.  One ticket for the metro, bus or tram in Rome costs 1,50 euro, so after two rides you're ahead economically. I do it for the ease of having just the one ticket to worry about, whether or not it pays out.

I’m trying to book my tickets for this and the other day it showed trains after 8 am now it only shows the frecce trains after 9:16 - this is for June 15th.  If I go to a different earlier date I see the trains but not after June 10.  Does that mean they are sold out?  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks

We just booked 2 GTY rooms and luckily were placed only 4 doors away from each other, so it sounds like anything can really happen
