> Special case at being ripped off when flights from London, Paris or Berlin across the continent are cheaper than trains from Graz to Vienna.

A "Sparschiene" ticket from Vienna to Graz typically costs between 10€ and 25€. With the Vorteilscard, a regular ticket costs 22€. (I believe the full regular price only exists to rip off tourists :)

I've never seen it below 19 Euros.

Are Austrian residents excempt from the "full regular price"?

Then it's ripping me off too not just tourists.

Actually the entire country is a ripoff.

I randomly picked next Wednesday (December 17). There are several offers for 9,90€

No, and that would be against EU laws.

"Reverse discrimination" is generally legal under EU law.

For example, EU law grants the non-EU spouses of EU citizens living in an EU country other than the EU citizen's home country much broader right than the EU citizen's home country otherwise might.
