When using the DSB website be sure to check the 'show me Orange' tickets box.
The most heavily discounted/cheapest tickets sold by DSB are its 'Orange' tickets.
They can be more than 60% cheaper than the standard price, so are worth tracking down.
If you can be flexible with your travel times, it can be worthwhile searching through the departures to look for trains on which 'Orange' tickets are available.
