China Railway Group: No acceleration package at any price on third-party platforms can achieve priority purchase of train tickets | direction | acceleration
The reporter learned from China Railway Group that today, the railway department began selling train tickets for October 4th, and there are sufficient tickets available in all directions. Tickets for October 5th will be sold on September 21st, and there is expected to be a peak in return ticket sales. There are still remaining votes in some directions from September 28th to 30th; Tickets for pre-sale periods from October 1st to 4th, September 27th, and earlier are sufficient in all directions. From September 13th to 19th, the railway department has sold 130 million train tickets.
The person in charge of the Passenger Transport Department of China Railway Group reminds that this year's long holiday provides more options for passengers to adjust their itinerary and staggered travel. If passengers have not purchased tickets during peak travel hours, they can choose to purchase tickets departing around October 1st and returning around October 4th. These non peak hours have relatively sufficient tickets in all directions. Passengers with rigid travel needs during peak holiday hours who have not purchased tickets can choose to purchase tickets through options such as standby ticket purchase or intermediate transfer.
In response to the recent concerns of netizens about ticket price preferential policies, the person in charge introduced that currently, according to the relevant provisions of the Railway Passenger Transport Regulations, the railway department still implements ticket price preferential policies for five categories of personnel: children, students, disabled military personnel, disabled police officers, and disabled personnel in fire rescue teams.
In response to some third-party platforms claiming to provide ticket grabbing acceleration packages with different prices such as "low speed", "high speed", and "speed of light", users who purchase acceleration packages can prioritize ticket purchases. Users who purchase acceleration packages with higher prices can rank ahead of users who purchase acceleration packages with lower prices. The person in charge emphasized that no user has the priority to purchase tickets, and any price of acceleration package purchased on third-party platforms cannot achieve priority ticket purchases. All along, the railway department has adhered to the principle of fairness and justice, and has taken technical measures to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of passengers and normal ticket sales order. Through real-time monitoring and big data analysis of the 12306 system, once users with abnormal ticket buying behavior are found, flow limiting measures will be taken. When new ticket amounts are generated due to reasons such as ticket refunds, the railway 12306 system prioritizes meeting standby ticket orders and redeems them in the order in which passengers submit their orders, without charging any additional fees.
The railway department reminds passengers that if they want to improve the success rate of ticket purchases, they can check the starting time of the ticket at the departure station in advance and purchase the ticket as soon as possible. If they have not purchased it, they can submit a standby ticket purchase order in a timely manner; Be sure to purchase tickets through the official railway ticketing channels and do not trust the promotion of third-party platforms to avoid economic losses and personal information security risks.
