In 2018, the countdown is coming. It's 2019, and the day of ticket grabbing is coming. Today, the spring festival ticket calendar was released. For those who want to go home, they must pay attention to the latest news of the Spring Festival.
On December 17, the reporter learned from the railway department that on December 23, train tickets for the first day of the Spring Festival (January 21, 2019) can be purchased. As the Spring Festival is the busiest time of the year for railway passenger transport, it is not easy to seize the train tickets at the peak of the Spring Festival every year. What are the key time points for ticket grabbing in the Spring Festival of 2019? What should be done if there is no ticket grabbing? What are the changes in the Spring Festival of this year? The reporter asked the relevant personnel of the railway department to give you a detailed explanation.
Tickets for the first day of the Spring Festival are on sale this Sunday
The reporter learned that according to the "ticket purchasing calendar of 2019 Railway Spring Festival" compiled by China Railway Corporation, 2019 Spring Festival starts from January 21, 2019 (December 16) and ends on March 1, 2019 (January 25). After the Spring Festival train tickets are robbed, the majority of passengers need to pay attention to the time of ticket grabbing in various ways.
Relevant personnel of the Railway Department reminded that because the opening time of train tickets in different stations is different in the same day, the passengers who rob tickets should pay special attention to that they must check the ticket selling time of the local railway station on the 12306 website or the 12306 mobile phone client of the railway before robbing tickets, so as to avoid delay in ticket purchasing. 'in & lsquo; information query & rsquo;, enter the station name to know the result. "The person said that 12306 website and telephone booking have different starting times at different stations. From 8:00 to 18:00, new tickets will be available at all hours and half hours. If the train tickets are not paid in time 45 minutes after the start of sale, these ticket sources will return to the ticket warehouse 45 minutes later.
'alternate ticket purchase' function goes online during Spring Festival
During the previous Spring Festival, when I mentioned buying train tickets, my eyes were filled with tears.
In this regard, the railway department suggests that passengers should pay attention to several time points. The first is to open the after-sales service for 45 minutes, and then sweep the ticket again. Some passengers fail to pay in time after locking the ticket, resulting in the ticket returning to the system for sale. The second is 15 days before driving, which is the peak period of ticket refund. Third, between 22:00 and 23:00 every day, it is generally the peak time for passengers to return tickets, and they can 'pick up the leakage' at this time. Fourth, 48 hours and 24 hours before driving, the ticket system will often release some of the remaining tickets, which is also a good opportunity to 'pick up the missing'. In addition, one day before departure, the train will stop at multiple stations along the way, and the railway department will allocate ticket amount to each station according to a certain proportion. Once there are unfinished tickets in a station, the remaining tickets will be returned to the system for sale one day before the train starts.
The person also said that the 'alternative ticket purchase' function developed by China Railway will be launched during the Spring Festival 2019. At that time, the difficulty of ticket grabbing will be alleviated. According to the introduction, the so-called "standby ticket purchase", in short, when the train ticket is sold out, passengers can register the ticket purchase information on 12306 platform and pay for the advance ticket funds. If there are refunds and surplus tickets, 12306 system will automatically seize the tickets. According to the estimation of experts, this method has obvious advantages over the software of ticket grabbing on the market, no matter the speed, success rate or security of ticket purchasing.
