Where did the tickets go? How can I buy tickets? The poster news reporter contacted the Beijing Railway Customer Service Center, and the staff answered these questions.
"It's true that there are not as many tickets as there are for the whole journey. Generally, the whole journey ticket will be released first, and the intermediate station will release the ticket according to the proportion, so the ticket amount is smaller. ”
The staff told reporters that if the tickets for the whole journey are not sold out, the proportion will be readjusted within 24 hours before departure and the tickets will be released again.
"You can order a standby ticket as soon as possible, and the chance of waiting for a ticket is still relatively large. "Staff reminded.
In addition, the reporter also noticed that the official public account of Railway 12306 had introduced the skills of waitlist ticket purchase. The first is to increase the number of standby trains, taking Beijing to Harbin standby ticket purchase as an example, waiting for one train, the estimated success rate is 45%, and waiting for five trains, the estimated success rate is 80%. Second, when waiting for a train, open the "Accept new train" button, fill in the required train requirements, and when there is a new train, the system will automatically redeem tickets for passengers. The third is to increase the waitlist orders for different travel dates, which is more likely to improve the success rate of cashing.
