May Day is approaching, and grabbing tickets has once again become the biggest challenge for ordinary people.
In the wave after wave of ticket grabbing, many people have become accustomed to the suffocation of buying tickets at a high price on third-party platforms. This helpless but humane choice has sparked a fierce debate between officials and netizens.
The 12306 platform has repeatedly stated that it has never authorized any third party to sell train tickets, which is the same as concert ticket management. However, in reality, the source of tickets is still in the hands of "scalpers".
Netizens angrily questioned, "You officials can't even buy your own tickets, so how can you talk about authorization?" Indeed, during the peak holiday period, the difficulty of grabbing tickets on the 12306 official website is comparable to winning the championship, and even if you barely grab it in the end, you will inevitably encounter the problem of "second space".
Some netizens revealed a cruel reality: their roommates often successfully grabbed tickets at high prices through third-party platforms, and they were swept away within minutes after the 12306 ticket was issued.
This undoubtedly once again confirmed the powerlessness of 12306, and also triggered the collective anger of netizens.
This cat-and-mouse game has been going on for years. When 12306 has not yet supported online ticket purchase, the third-party platform has already provided purchasing services. At the time, it may have been an option for convenience, but now it clearly goes against 12306's official intentions.
I believe that in order to cure this problem, 12306 needs to fundamentally solve the problem of ticket grabbing on its official website. At the same time, stricter measures should be introduced to strictly supervise third-party platforms and put an end to their illegal operations.
After all, ordinary people just want to go home well during the holidays, so why be forced to fall victim to this "ticket grabbing frenzy".
