It depends on where you are in Europe. In Germany and Switzerland, the platform is announced up to a year in advance, and you can go and wait there for your train. Sometimes you can even buy a coffee directly on the platform while you're waiting.

Furthermore, most tickets have assigned seating so there's no race. Also tickets are inspected when the train is moving, not on the platforms.
