If you stay in Middle-Franconia (Nuremberg and surrounding) for more than a week and want to travel withing that region with public transport, probably the cheapest option is the VGN-Gesamtraum 9-Uhr 31-Tage Ticket. It's valid for a month, and you can use it in work days from 9 hour, and in free days without limitation.

However, when you already have that ticket, and you want to travel with train somewhere outer "Gesamtraum" or "Grossraum", for example to Regensburg, can you combine that with Region-Ticket Bayern? It seems to be the cheapest option, because it allows 50km back and 50km forth travel, and costs 11,50 Euro, 2 times less that Bayern-Ticket.

However, I have found no information if it's possible to combine them with "Grossraum" tickets. For example, if I take the train from Nuremberg to Regensburg, the route until Parsberg is covered by the "Grossraum" ticket I already have, and the route from Parsberg to Regensburg could be covered by Region-Ticket Bayern. The only problem is, it's the same train and I don't have a ticket for the full route.

I've failed to find any information about that in internet...

No, this does NOT work. the validity of the Region Ticket Bayern clearly states that it's for trips that start or end outside of a Verkehrsverbund (VV) (not sure how to translate this):

nur für Fahrten, die außerhalb eines Verkehrsverbundes beginnen oder enden

To see this info, open this link and click on "Das Regio-Ticket Bayern gilt"

VGN tickets are for the "Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg", so you can only use the Bavarian ticket from it's central area to get to places that are not in a Verbund and back. Not from one Verbund to the other. Also, the Regio Ticket Bayern does not cover the RVV trains in Regensburg.

This map will show you where the VV's start and end. On top of this, the ticket online shop will automatically show you the Region Tickets for purchase if the trip you plan allows you to book such a ticket.
