Train ticket help

I bought a return train ticket, anytime day return, from Berkhamsted to Euston and back, for my son and I, as he has to be in London that day for a course.

We picked up the tickets a week ago, and bought a family railcard.

I've just had an email from Trainline:

Hello,

Unfortunately there are no advance tickets available for your journey from Berkhamsted to London Euston.
It is unlikely any will be released for your travel date on 16 August.
There are still great fares to buy from Trainline.com
Kind regards,
Trainline.com

Given that I already have my paper ticket, does this mean we won't be allowed on the train? I simply can't afford to travel in a more expensive way, and as I need to wait in central London until 4pm, driving in isn't really an option.
