Ticket-snatching software "acceleration package" should speed up the exit

Spring Festival train tickets went on sale on January 3, and the annual "ticket rush war" began. According to China News Service, although Railway 12306 clearly states that the "acceleration package" used by consumers does not have the right of priority to purchase tickets, many platforms are still selling their own fancy ticket-grabbing products. For example, on the Fliggy App, there are 3 levels from low speed to speed of light, each upgrade is 20 yuan, and the platform will also prompt that the low-cost ticket snatching "low success rate" and +20 rapid ticket snatching "high success rate".

In fact, not only during the spring festival ticket sale, the ticket snatching software does not lack "customer sources" all year round, but because the spring festival ticket is more sought-after, the user growth of the ticket snatching platform in this period is also more obvious. However, the other side of the popularity of ticket-snatching software is the frequent complaints after a large number of user experiences, and the success probability that the platform side has been vague. Some netizens sighed: "Spent dozens of yuan to buy an acceleration package, and also shared to the circle of friends to let friends help can not grab the ticket, others are on the 12306 standby arrived." In addition, factors such as viral marketing that requires sharing social platforms to grab tickets, the risk of information leakage after knowing the user's account password, and the rushing of tickets in line to undermine the fairness of ticket purchases have also made the ticket snatching software in a staking place deeply mired in the controversy of whether to violate the law.

Whether it is the experience of being deceived by user feedback or the various controversies suffered by ticket-snatching software, the spearhead points to the ugly appearance of such ticket-snatching merchants, and ultimately damages the basic traffic rights and interests of consumers. It is worth vigilance that even if 12306 has already launched an "alternate channel", even if the railway recently made it clear that the "acceleration package" does not have the right to buy tickets first, some ticket-snatching software still uses "although it is not guaranteed to be able to grab, but the more you spend money, the higher the success rate" and other words and routine users. This is typical of the anxiety of using unequal information and selling travel. The name is to help users grab tickets, in fact, I am afraid that I want to grab money from users.

Ticket-snatching software has been on the cusp of public opinion every year during the Spring Festival, indicating that a large number of users will still have the mentality of trying to buy luck on ticket software when they arrive at the New Year. Although 12306 has identified some of the characteristics of ticket-snatching software and restricted its programs, it is clear that many users have failed to identify the tricks and tricks of ticket-snatching software. After the user can directly line up at 12306, the end of all ticket-snatching software is 12306; this traffic knowledge needs more home-hungry wanderers to know, and the "acceleration package" of the ticket-snatching software needs to be accelerated.
