Tips for ticket grabbing in Spring Festival
Pay attention to the release time of train tickets every day
The biggest success rate of robbing a train is from Kwai Fu, and knowing the time of the train ticket every day. As long as the net is fast enough, it is enough to be sure that there is no ticket to go home. During the Spring Festival, there are 21 ticket release time points every day. That is to say, from 08:00 to 18:00, every full point and half point is a ticket release time point. That is to say, there are 21 opportunities to grab tickets in one day, to guard these time points and start to grab tickets from the first second, so the success rate will be much higher.
Pay attention to additional and temporary trains
In order to cope with the surging passenger flow, the General Administration of Railways will increase the number of shifts according to the situation. Almost every day during the Spring Festival, there will be an announcement to open more trains. Seize this opportunity and wait for thousands of more tickets.
There's a surprise when buying tickets in a roundabout way
If you go through the two ways of buying tickets before you get the train ticket to go home, you may as well take a different way to get to the destination by circuitous way. For example, the Beijing Guangzhou line is the main artery connecting the north and the south. It's not likely to get tickets if you want to go home from Guangdong to Hubei. It's better to take a detour to Guangxi, and then go back to Wuhan from Guangxi to buy some tickets. Although it's a long journey, there may be sleeper options, so the journey will be easier.
