During National Day Holiday Return Peak, Many Netizens Can't Get Standby Tickets

TapTechNews on October 6th. According to Hongxing Capital Bureau, during the recent National Day holiday return peak, many netizens posted on social platforms that they couldn't get a standby ticket.

Today, the media called 12306, and the customer service replied: The fulfillment rate of standby orders is basically more than 70%, but it also depends on the popular direction or popular train, and also depends on whether others have changed or refunded their tickets. The staff also said: There may be many passengers who don't need (standby orders), but still think about placing an order.

TapTechNews noted that this year's railway National Day Golden Week transportation starts from September 29th and ends on October 8th, lasting for 10 days.

12306 has repeatedly posted reminders that it has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets, and there are risks such as information security and ticket authenticity when purchasing tickets through third parties. The 12306 website (including the client) as the official only online ticket sales channel for train tickets does not charge any additional fees. Please ask the vast number of passengers to purchase tickets through the official channels to protect their legitimate rights and interests and personal information security.

12306 has also launched the official standby ticket purchasing function. In order to improve the fulfillment success rate, the railway official suggests that passengers submit standby orders with multiple combinations of date + train number + seat class, and they can also use the method of transferring and purchasing tickets in sections to snap up tickets.
