The Spring Festival is approaching, and the rush to go home has made train tickets one of the most sought-after New Year's goods. However, what makes people laugh and cry is that 12306 is out in seconds, and the official platform can't buy ticketsHowever, on third-party platforms such as Ctrip, tickets can be purchased smoothly.
For a while, netizens questioned that the official deliberately deliberately sold tickets in limited quantities and handed over a large number of tickets to third-party platforms, triggering an Internet frenzy.
I can't laugh at it. On the one hand, official platforms are running out like a black market, while third-party platforms such as Ctrip are reeling from the fact that ticket sellers can turn into legitimate organizations.
How ironic and ridiculous! The comments of netizens are also varied, some people complain that the waitlist ticket at 12306 is also thanked, and they can grab it as soon as the price is increased on Ctrip; There are also people who posted the absurd experience of 12306 showing that after being sold out, they sat in the car and found a large number of empty seats.
For a while, the comment area exploded, the mood boiled, and some netizens ridiculed "Warm reminder from the railway department: In the past, scalpers only sold tickets, but now our railway department directly transfers them to scalpers to sell tickets." Anger and helplessness intertwine on the keyboard.
1.12306 is sold out and there are tickets on third-party platforms: the official is sold out, and the third-party actually magically has tickets.
2.Standby ticket dilemma: Some netizens said that they couldn't wait for the waitlist ticket at 12306, but they succeeded in increasing the price on the third-party platform.
3.Empty seats on the bus: 12306 shows that it is sold out, but some passengers find a large number of empty seats after sitting on the bus, causing confusion.
4.Third-party platforms use crawler technology: Netizens revealed that third-party platforms used crawler technology to grab a large number of tickets in seconds, causing dissatisfaction.
5.Legitimate scalpers: Netizens questioned whether third-party platforms are legitimate, dividing the source of votes in a legitimate capacity.
The root cause of this phenomenon is that third-party platforms have more powerful technical means, including efficient server and crawler technology. While this kind of behavior is not legally violated, it is somewhat unkind in terms of ethics.
12306 officials explained that as long as the display is sold out, it is impossible for a third party to have a ticket, but the actual situation is obviously not in line with this. It also raises questions about whether officials are deliberately selling a small number of tickets and handing over more tickets to third parties.
A similar situation happened last year, when a system failure caused all tickets to be sold out, but they were easily available on third-party platforms such as Ctrip.
At the time, there was an uproar, with some questioning whether the airline was deliberately creating a tight supply and handing over the ticket source to a third party. The incident ultimately led to a loss of credibility with the airlines involved, raising more suspicions about airline ticketing.
Ordinary people are the most directly affected group. In the process of purchasing tickets, they may encounter problems such as waiting lists, increasing the price of tickets, etc., which makes people question the experience of buying tickets.
At the same time, railway officials may lose some control because the ticketing is handed over to a third party, and the third-party platform will make a big profit in this ticketing war. This situation not only affects the rights and interests of users, but also disrupts the normal order of the ticketing market.
1.Strengthen the technical upgrade of the official platform: improve the server and ticket-grabbing technology of 12306 to increase the success rate of users' ticket purchases.
2.Regulate the behavior of third-party platforms: Strengthen the supervision of third-party platforms to prevent them from grabbing tickets through improper means, and regulate their ticketing behavior.
3.Optimize the waitlist system: Improve the waitlist system to improve the success rate of waiting, so that users can get tickets more fairly on the official platform.
This ticketing storm has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions, what do you think of this phenomenon? What do you think about the game between 12306 and third-party platforms? Feel free to leave a comment to share your views and suggestions!
