Someone will come round soon after departure from Hamburg to check passengers' tickets.

No need to waste time in a long queue at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof.
Indeed. There's a form on the SBB website for asking questions:

If the OP needs to buy the ticket, the SBB mobile app can be used. Just make sure to have some battery power left.
