Fast Technology reported on January 29 that the Spring Festival in 2024 has arrived, and many netizens posted that passengers who can't buy tickets online can go directly to the self-service ticket vending machines at high-speed rail stations to buy them, which can increase the success rate of ticket purchases.
Netizens said in the post that she was going to return to her hometown in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province from Shenzhen before, and she didn't buy high-speed rail tickets at that time, so they entered the station and swiped their tickets at the automatic ticket vending machine at the train station.
Without delaying others to buy tickets, they kept refreshing their mobile phones on the ticket vending machines to show that the tickets were sold out, and in less than a while, they all swiped the tickets, and immediately entered the station and boarded the train after buying them with their ID cards.
Netizens also explained in the comment area that she saw that some scalpers also used this way to swipe tickets, and the success rate was very high.
In this regard, 12306 customer service told ** that they had not received such a notice, and the remaining tickets offline and online were the same, but sometimes there was a data delay in the self-service ticket vending machine.
However, there was another ** report that in response to the fact that the probability of buying tickets from self-service ticket machines is greater, the high-speed rail station responded to it that sometimes such a phenomenon does exist.
This is to cater for the needs of passengers who purchase tickets through different channels, and there is a co-ordination mechanism in the ticketing arrangement, whereby the remaining tickets will be allocated according to the sales situation at a certain time before the train departs.
At the same time, we will also ensure that each channel (12306** and mobile app, Hong Kong designated travel agency**, etc.) has a corresponding number of ticket sources.
