I will be traveling to Europe next summer and plan on visiting about 9 or 10 cities all over Europe in a 2 month span. I plan on getting the Eurorail pass, however, a friend said they think that I have to buy tickets in addition to the eurorail pass. If that is the case, is it even worth paying the 1000-1300 bucks for it?!?!?! On average, how much more will I have to pay? I'm still a little confused as to how it works exactly, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

If you travel with the fast trains you will need to buy supplements or pay for seat reservations. On most trains, specially the slower ones, you can travel for free.

I have bought Eurailpasses for years. It's good if you're covering lots of territory. I don't know how old you are but over 26 it gets more expensive. I like the Eurail Selectpasses for 4 or 5 countries. You do have to pay extra for some trains, like maybe a 3 or 5 euro reservation fee or highspeed supplement. You also have to pay extra if you want a couchette to sleep comfortably. (I think it's worth the extra 21 e. to sleep on a night train in a bed.)
It's really cheaper to take a couple of flights now in EU on ryanair, easyjet, germanwings, or airberlin.
Those aren't the only ones, but the ones I know.
