How early should I buy a Beijing-Lhasa train ticket?

I'm in Hong Kong and I want to take the train from Beijing to Tibet at the end of June. All the travel agencies here say I must go to China to buy the Beijing-Lhasa Train ticket. They have also said I can only buy the ticket 3-4 days before departure date.

Is this true? How much in advanced should I buy the tickets? Will they sell out?

Also can you reccomend a good travel agent who can arrange the ticket and the TTP?

Thank you!

They don't go on sale any more than 10/11 days before departure date anyway.

It's true that in China you can't buy tickets too in advance.
