Do train prices in Norway increase close to date of travel?

Yes, NSB offers ‘minipris’ tickets starting as low as 249 NOK (about 27€) for any distance on the Norwegian railway network. They can be bought up to 90 days in advance, are only valid for the booked train and cannot be changed or refunded.

There are usually only a few tickets available in the cheapest allotment on each train and then the price increases based on demand. This is basically the same concept as ‘advanced saver fare’ in the UK or ‘Sparpreis’ tickets in Germany.

Full fare tickets (865 NOK from Oslo to Bergen) can be refunded without charge up to 24 hours before departure.

If you are flying to Oslo Lufthavn and continue more or less immediately by train to Bergen, it might for some strange reason be cheaper to buy a through ticket from the airport to Bergen via Oslo S than just from Oslo S (central station) to Bergen.

You should also be aware that most of Oslo S is closed in the first week of August. Trains between Oslo Lufthavn and Oslo S are replaced by buses.
