Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:50 PM

On the 15th, the railway department began selling tickets for the first day of the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day Golden Week holiday, which is the 29th, with a daily ticket sales volume of 22.877 million. Among them, the ticket sales on the Railway 12306 website reached 20.95 million, both reaching a new historical high in single day ticket sales.

The "people follow the crowd" mode has reopened, and do you need to spend more time traveling during the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day? In addition to purchasing tickets through official railway channels, third-party platforms and scalpers have also taken action to attract people who are struggling to obtain tickets to try buying them.

Third party platforms assist in ticket grabbing

During this Mid Autumn Festival and National Day holiday, various third-party platforms have launched ticket grabbing strategies.

Unlike the official ticketing channels of the railway department, third-party platforms can simultaneously select multiple dates, train numbers, and seats, make appointments for ticket grabbing, and automatically grab tickets upon opening. There are also platforms that mark the success rate of ticket grabbing. Generally speaking, the more options available, the higher the success rate.

In addition, many third-party platforms have launched ticket grabbing acceleration services. For example, a certain platform implements tiered services and prices, offering 5-40 "assistance packages" from fast, high-speed, top speed, light speed to VIP, with internet speeds of 200-500m/s and prices ranging from 10-80 yuan. The platform will give away assistance packages, which can also be obtained by inviting friends. The platform also offers a dedicated ticket grabbing function, which allows for 24-hour non-stop ticket grabbing through multiple channels, increasing the success rate of ticket grabbing. The price is 30 yuan. In addition, there will be an additional charge for grabbing seats by the window or aisle.

Regarding acceleration services, China News Service called a third-party platform customer service, who explained that purchasing acceleration services can increase the frequency of ticket grabbing, which means it is more frequent than regular ticket grabbing. "For example, under normal circumstances, if you swipe 10 times per second, purchasing acceleration services may result in 50 swipes."

The customer service mentioned that the success rate of ticket grabbing can also be improved by enabling "dual channel ticket grabbing". After enabling this function, the system will automatically queue up to register the waiting ticket information while monitoring the remaining tickets generated by others changing or refunding tickets, which means submitting the waiting information to 12306.

During this critical period of ticket grabbing during this long holiday, several families are happy and some are worried. Some netizens said that it was easy to grab tickets, while others said that they were buying acceleration packs and purchasing dedicated personnel to grab tickets, but still couldn't get them. Ms. Li, who was eager to grab her high-speed rail ticket home, mentioned to China News Service that she had purchased an acceleration service and paid for the ticket on a certain platform one day in advance, but still couldn't grab the ticket when it opened the next day.

At this time, some netizens who were struggling to obtain tickets opened trading platforms and turned to seeking help to snatch scalpers.

The business of robbing scalpers on behalf of others has arrived

Has the business of scalpers achieved high-speed rail tickets? Opening a certain second-hand trading platform, some train tickets, high-speed rail tickets, and airplane ticket snatching services have recently been launched.

China News Network has contacted a seller who provides a proxy robbery service, and the seller is offering a proxy robbery fee of 120 yuan. The seller mentioned that they used a "script" to swipe tickets on 12306, and had a high probability of successful ticket grabbing in advance, ensuring a success rate of over 90%. "Many of my clients bought VIPs on the platform and used acceleration packs to grab tickets, but in the end, they didn't even buy a backup."

Another seller also used the same method to grab tickets on behalf of others, without manually grabbing tickets. Instead, they used "machine running" to grab tickets, with a success rate of approximately 80% -90%. The seller mentioned, "We are grabbing tickets on 12306 and need to provide the customer's number. Once the order is successfully placed, we will contact the customer for payment.".

Some netizens have expressed on social media that if you want to find a "scalper" for concert tickets, why should you also find a "scalper" for high-speed rail tickets? The frequent tens or hundreds of proxy fees have caused some netizens to feel repulsed, and more importantly, this atmosphere of grabbing everything has left netizens feeling exhausted.

Railway department:

Suggest purchasing tickets through official channels

Recently, China Railway released an article interpreting travel related issues during the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day holiday, and reminded passengers that Railway 12306 has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets. Third party platforms will retain user information during the ticket purchase process, which not only has "traps" such as surcharges and bundled sales services, but also may pose a risk of personal information leakage. Passengers are advised to purchase tickets through official railway channels and identify the official website and "Railway 12306" app.

To cope with the high traffic during the peak ticketing period, the 12306 technical team has taken targeted preparatory measures, focusing on public cloud applications, network bandwidth expansion, and preventing malicious ticket grabbing, to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the ticketing system.

China Railway also mentioned that the standby ticketing function of Railway 12306 operates stably, with a success rate of over 75%. Passengers can increase the standby success rate by submitting standby orders with multiple combinations of dates, train numbers, and seat types to extend the standby redemption time.
