The curtain of the Spring Festival has opened, and countless wanderers are ready to embark on the journey home and reunite with their families. However, in the face of the dilemma of hard to find a ticket, many netizens have found a "new continent" - swiping tickets at the self-service ticket vending machines at high-speed rail stations, and the success rate seems to be far higher than that of online ticket purchases.
According to netizens, during the ** week, when online ticket purchase was hopeless, they chose to go directly to the self-service ticket vending machine at the high-speed rail station to try to buy tickets. Surprisingly, in just a short period of time, they all managed to swipe their tickets. Some netizens pointed out that they saw scalpers also using this method to swipe tickets, and the success rate was quite high.
The discovery quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet. However, in the face of this phenomenon, 12306 customer service said that they had not received the relevant notice, and the remaining tickets offline and online should be the same. However, there are also ** reports pointing out that the reason why the self-service ticket vending machine has become a "ticket grabbing weapon" is because in order to take care of passengers who buy tickets through different channels, the high-speed rail station has a set of coordination mechanisms for ticketing arrangements. When the train departs, the remaining tickets are reassigned based on sales.
This response seems to explain why the success rate of buying tickets at self-service ticket machines seems to be higher. However, this does not mean that all tickets will flow to the self-service ticket machines. After all, in order to ensure the fairness of each ticket purchase channel, 12306**, mobile app and designated travel agencies** will have corresponding ticket sources.
The Spring Festival ticket rush has begun, and this is undoubtedly exciting news for those who are still struggling to find a ticket home. But at the same time, it also reminds everyone to be vigilant in the process of purchasing tickets to prevent unnecessary risks caused by changes in ticket purchase methods.
In this special period, we hope that the railway authorities can continue to optimize the ticketing mechanism and provide more convenient and fair ticketing services for the majority of passengers. At the same time, it is also hoped that the majority of passengers can treat the issue of ticket purchase rationally, choose formal channels, and avoid falling into difficulties due to the blind pursuit of "shortcuts". Let's look forward to a more harmonious and orderly Spring Festival environment, so that every homecoming traveler can be reunited with their families smoothly.
