I'm pretty sure your Airbnb host can sort tickets for you, it's worth asking them.
I think the park only tends to sell out on the really busy days, like Ascension weekend.

Total Europa Park novice here (I’ve not been for over 10 years), so go easy on me!
What rides are closed during the winter event? Specially January. Can I expect coasters like Voltron and Silver Star to be running? I know that Phantasialand make a big deal about how their coasters can run in the snow, but not seen this type of marketing from Europa.

They don’t make a big deal of it, but you can expect all coasters to run unless the conditions are particularly extreme. Voltron is better equipped than Silver Star for this, being newer and designed with all-year-operation in mind.

Almost all rides should be open unless the temperature is below about 5 degrees - some coasters can run in colder temperatures but ice will pretty much close all of them apart from CanCan.
The only major rides scheduled to be closed in winter season are Atlantica and Fjord Rafting - in both cases the lakes are used for other attractions during winter season

There are only five attractions that are scheduled to be closed - Atlantica, the rapids, Danube Steamer boat, the kids splash pad in Iceland and the kids canoe ride in Ireland.
When it is very cold, they will sometimes close the log flume and Poseidon. Extreme conditions (not necessarily snow, but freezing temperatures or strong winds) will mean they cannot operate other rides, as you’d expect. The most common condition closing the rides is extreme cold, which I think is your concern. As has been mentioned, some rides are more susceptible to that - the most susceptible large ride (other than the water rides) is the bobsled. Even in said cold conditions, where some rides are closed in the morning, you will often find that they open later in the day - this can happen with rides like Blue Fire, Wodan and Silverstar.
They’ll always try and open the rides wherever they can.
