Pardon me if this is a naive question.

My wife and I want to take the Munich to Prague direct train (@0844) on October 6th. After registering at the Deutsche Bahn site and going through the booking process, I learned that the ticket could NOT be printed at home and could only be mailed. We depart for MUC in 3 weeks.
Our concern in booking how (versus in Munich) is whether or not a train might get full for this post-Wiesn day.

1. Is this a reasonable concern?
2. If I book online at bahn.de, is there any real risk of the tickets not arriving in Chicago in time? If they didn't, would the reservation still be in the bahn.de system and be available to be printed at the Munich Hauptbahnhof?

Thanks in advance.
