Since 12306, the main battle field of Spring Festival has shifted from queuing to online ticket grabbing. In order to get ahead of others, some people have come up with a way to automatically grab tickets through the program. But recently, a news broke out that the ticket grabbing software actually charges for tickets. What's the matter?
However, more and more people are using ticket grabbing software, which has even become the consensus of the whole people. Once free ticket grabbing software has launched VIP or acceleration package -- to get tickets, pay more and become online "scalper". Although we are not proud of the service charge of acceleration package. But I can't. I can't buy a ticket without it. I have to pay honestly to bite my teeth.
What's the function of our 30 or 60 piece acceleration pack? You should know that we can grab tickets without the acceleration pack. We might as well see how the 60 yuan 'accelerates' through the principle of ticket grabbing.
What's the difference between speeding up package and ticket grabbing
At present, some ticket grabbing software on the market is through continuous and repeated inquiry of 12306, which can quickly book the remaining tickets and fill in passenger information and automatic identification verification code at high speed to grab tickets.
In fact, this is the same as our manual operation of 12306 ticket grabbing, except that the response time of human ticket grabbing is slow and that of computer ticket grabbing is fast. Of course, in addition to the difference in response time, there are also differences in network latency.
Due to the regional distance and the operator's line, 12306 ticket server may have a great delay. The ticket grabbing software can initiate the ticket purchase request through the server, with lower delay and faster grabbing.
In addition to the difference between network and response speed, ticket grabbing software even uses some "violent" ticket grabbing methods - that is, multi-threaded ticket grabbing. In human language, it means that ordinary people use arrows to shoot at targets, while ticket grabbing software uses machine guns to shoot at targets, which is far faster than human beings.
It is this kind of violent ticket grabbing that causes 12306 to be often paralyzed. The ticket grabbing software takes up a lot of server resources, leaving normal ticket grabbers without tickets to buy.
Finally, in the market where bad money drives out good money, everyone becomes the 'slave' of ticket grabbing software, and can't buy a ticket without using it. Of course, in today's day when everyone uses ticket grabbing software, ticket grabbing software is not necessarily able to grab tickets. To a certain extent, it's still face grabbing.
Although luck has a certain impact, but the impact of ticket grabbing technology is greater. Since everyone has to use ticket grabbing software, there must be high-end users and low-end users. Like a member, the more money you charge, the stronger you will be.
If you have more acceleration packs, your purchase order will be higher than others, and the system will give you priority in ticket grabbing. When you are robbing the same car with others, the system will adjust your priority to meet the needs of gold VIP first.
Some ticket grabbing software will even enable multi-threaded violent ticket grabbing for users with money, which greatly affects the ticket grabbing experience of normal users.
Of course, for users, the process is not important, just like a saying: dead friends do not die poor. Users only care about getting tickets.
Then how to rob the train tickets? I'll give you three tips. You may as well try.
The first move: plan time in advance and use various tools to rob tickets.
There are basically two kinds of ticket grabbing methods with different grades of acceleration packs to choose from. If you don't use the acceleration pack (krypton gold), you are a younger brother. Tickets for hot lines are basically dead, so it's better to be honest krypton gold if conditions permit.
Of course, even if you choose the acceleration pack, it doesn't mean you will be able to get tickets. Sometimes I open three acceleration packs and use all the popular apps on the market. I can't get tickets.
Of course, you can also choose to grab tickets manually, check the opening time of the train to be bought in advance, set an alarm clock, connect 4G, and compete with tens of millions of people returning home for hand speed and Internet speed. If you don't get a ticket in the first place, you don't have to worry.
According to the public statement of the Ministry of railways, during the Spring Festival, there may be more tickets released at the whole or half of the ticket selling time every day, of which 12:00 / 13:00 / 18:00 is more likely.
There are about five peak hours of ticket sales every day, namely 9:00-9:30, 11:30, 13:00-13:30, 14:00-14:30 and 16:30. Among them, at 16:30, there are the most people, and tickets are the most difficult to buy.
So in addition to the first time to release tickets, there are four times to release tickets, you can give it a try.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't buy these four times. 15 days before driving, 1-2 days before driving and 12 hours before driving, some users will choose to refund tickets. You can make an appointment in advance by using the reservation purchase function of various ticket grabbing software to make the software automatically grab the remaining tickets.
Note: it should be noted that if the booking software for ticket grabbing requires you to log in to 12306 account, you'd better not log in to 12306 app and webpage with the account of the booking software for ticket grabbing, which will constantly prompt you to log in again, resulting in ticket grabbing failure.
In addition to these third-party ticket grabbing software, the 12306 official also launched the function of standby ticket purchase. The so-called standby ticket purchase service refers to that passengers purchase tickets through the 12306 website or mobile phone client. If there is no ticket for the required train number or seat, they can submit the ticket purchase demand according to the date, train number and seat, and the ticket selling system will automatically arrange the online queue for standby after the advance payment. (that is, the official snatches the remaining tickets)
However, the waiting area for ticket purchase is limited. Before the festival, only Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Guangdong will start. All trains to Sichuan and Chongqing will use this function. After the festival, all trains to Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Guangdong will start from Sichuan and Chongqing. If you are not in the range, I'm sorry, this function has nothing to do with you.
This function is available on the mobile phone 12306 and the webpage. Only when the relevant train number shows' standby ', can the passenger submit the standby order.
In addition, each user can only submit one standby order. In one order, two adjacent boarding dates with the same departure and arrival station (which can be different stations in the same city) can be added. Each boarding date can add two combined demands of "train number + seat".
If you can't get tickets online, there's a second way: book tickets by phone and queue up offline to buy tickets
Although this method is very primitive, it is particularly useful when people book tickets online. The pre-sale period of telephone booking is also 30 days, and the phone number of booking is 95105105. The process of booking tickets by phone is as follows. Try it.
However, I tried to sell tickets by phone, but there were not enough tickets for station tickets.
Of course, it's also a good way to go to the off-line agency to buy tickets in line. The time of online ticket distribution is different from that of Internet phone, which is 28 days in advance. If you take the quilt and line up all night, you still have a good chance of buying tickets at the ideal time.
But there is no way for office workers. They usually have to go to work. It's impossible to ask for leave to buy train tickets, so there are some limitations in this way.
But if you're a college student waiting for someone to have free time, it seems like a good choice for you to buy a ticket in line at a buying agency. But it's cold recently, so we need to be prepared to keep warm.
If you can't buy a ticket to go home, you can only try the third way.
The third way: transfer and transfer
If we can't get a direct ticket, don't rush to buy a ticket for scalpers. Now the way of scalpers' ticket refunding has been rectified by the general manager of railway. In a sense, scalpers are also using the Internet to rob tickets after receiving the money.
So we might as well try to buy a transfer ticket. Take myself for example. There are very few direct trains from Beijing to Lanzhou, only 9 trains a day.
But there are 30 trains from Beijing to Xi'an. We might as well try to buy the train from Beijing to Xi'an, and then the train from Xi'an to Lanzhou (69 trains a day), so we can choose a lot of trains. We can say that as long as we get to Xi'an, we can get to Lanzhou no matter what.
If that doesn't work, and you really want to go home, long-distance bus transfer can also be considered. Of course, if your body can stand it. It's really not good. It's OK to take a stop ticket or even get on the train to make up for the ticket. It's only when you go home that it's most important.
Finally, I'd like to give you some advice on buying station tickets and going home with hard seats.
Buy a standing ticket friends, might as well buy a small stool, so the journey is long, different worry legs stand broken. (of course, if your house is close enough when I don't say it, I mean the friends of the train for 30 hours.).
Take a U-shaped pillow for the friends who come home from a hard seat, so that the comfort of sitting and sleeping will get a qualitative leap. Being able to sleep straight is the highest enjoyment of sitting on a hard seat (next only to sleeping on the luggage rack and under the seat).
Finally, I wish you all a happy new year and a smooth return home. I'll go home for the Spring Festival first if I can buy tickets.
