BEIJING, Beijing, December 15th (Wu Tao) The train tickets for Spring Festival travel rush are on sale today! Send a raiders, let you get twice the result with half the effort on the way to grab tickets.
No strategy? Let’s look at the situation in Spring Festival travel rush this year. In 2017, Spring Festival travel rush is the earliest Spring Festival travel rush in five years from January 13th, and this year’s train ticket purchase period is shortened to 30 days, which is called "the most difficult year to grab tickets". According to the data of China Railway Corporation, in 2017, the national railways are expected to send 356 million passengers, an increase of 31.56 million passengers, an increase of 9.7%.

Know yourself and your enemy, and pay attention to increasing and temporary trains.
The art of war has a cloud, know yourself and know yourself, and fight every battle. The same is true for robbing Spring Festival travel rush train tickets. Some basic rules must be clear. As for the time to grab tickets, the website of 12306 adjusted the time to sell tickets in August this year, and the time to start selling tickets every day was advanced from 7:00 to 6:00.
However, the 12306 website and telephone booking implement the measures of different starting time at different stations. During the period from 8: 00 to 18: 00, new tickets will be on sale at every hour and half past one. For example, the ticketing time for trains departing from Beijing West Railway Station is 8:00, Shanghai Station is 14:30 and Guangzhou Station is 11:00.
Therefore, as long as you are optimistic about the starting station or the specific number of trains, remember the earliest selling time of tickets, and there is no need to get up early at 6 o’clock to grab tickets. However, it should be noted that during my stay in Spring Festival travel rush, some trains are temporarily suspended, so don’t rely on your usual experience to grab tickets on these trains.
Zhongxin. com also notes that a notable feature of Spring Festival travel rush in 2017 is that there are more additional trains or temporary trains. In December, there are announcements of additional trains during the stay in Spring Festival travel rush almost every day. You may wish to pay more attention. After all, if you add a train, there will be hundreds of more tickets, and the probability of grabbing tickets will naturally increase.

60% of tickets don’t need verification code, and make rational use of "high technology"
According to China Railway Corporation, nearly 60% of the tickets on the 12306 website are sold, and passengers no longer need to use the verification code, which greatly improves their ticket purchasing experience.
Without the protection of verification code, it is convenient for passengers to buy tickets, but also convenient for the ticketing software to grab tickets? Some netizens said that if you don’t need to grab the ticket software, you will lose. Zhongxin. com contacted a number of ticketing software companies, and they all kept silent about it.
The introduction of ticketing software in the market is basically the same. Take the 360 ticketing browser as an example. According to the introduction, it can automatically, quickly and accurately identify the verification code, and users can also choose to automatically log in, automatically swipe tickets and automatically submit orders. Zhongxin. com tried a certain ticketing software, and the process was smooth and fully automatic to reach the payment link.
However, when using the ticketing software, we should pay attention to information leakage and try to use the products of some well-known enterprises. China Railway Customer Service Center issued an announcement to remind you not to purchase tickets through third-party purchasing websites and mobile phone clients, so as to avoid being unable to refund or change tickets online because the purchasing party fraudulently uses other people’s information, which will affect travel.

Buy tickets in a roundabout way to avoid the direct peak.
Judging from the situation in previous years, the direct train tickets between the two places are often snapped up. At this time, we may wish to play a "detour" strategy.
For example, because there is no high-speed rail between Beijing and Yinchuan, a berth ticket is precious. On the 14th, Zhongxin. com inquired on the website of 12306 that on January 12th, 2017 and a few days ago, there were few berth tickets left in Beijing-Yinchuan, but there were enough berth tickets in Shijiazhuang-Yinchuan, and tickets in Beijing-Shijiazhuang were also very easy to buy. At this time, you can go from Beijing to Shijiazhuang first and then to Yinchuan.
However, this situation generally takes a long time. If you buy tickets in advance, the transfer station will set aside more time to avoid one step and one step. If you buy tickets temporarily at the transfer station, you must pay attention to the ticket sales, so as to avoid being "people in the road" who have no tickets at the transfer station.
Can’t design a transit route? Nowadays, many ticketing websites are very intelligent. For example, searching for the starting point and destination on Qunar.com’s train ticket purchase page will push four types of ride schemes: direct, boarding and ticket replacement, transit and adjacent lines.
In addition, the "detour" strategy can also be adopted for telephone booking. If the local booking telephone can’t get through, you can add the telephone area code of other cities in your province and try again, and it is best to use a fixed telephone.

We’re leaving soon! Don’t worry, go to "catch the leak"
According to the introduction of China Railway Corporation, according to the law, at the time nodes such as 15 days, 48 hours and 24 hours before driving, the refund is relatively concentrated. At this time, those who have not grabbed the ticket can go to "leak".
According to the feedback from netizens, according to experience, a few hours before the train leaves, it is the prime time of "missing".
The main reason is that the 12306 website stipulates that those who have not exchanged paper tickets and are not later than 30 minutes before driving can apply for a refund on the website; There are also some passengers who will temporarily refund their tickets because their itinerary has changed or they have missed the train; There are also some "scalpers" who have not sold the tickets and will also refund the tickets before the train leaves.

Can’t get the train ticket? Try to get off the train
If you still can’t grab the train ticket, people who are not far away may wish to try the ride that has arisen in recent two years. Its flexible and convenient features are favored by more and more people. According to the data provided by Didi, during Spring Festival travel rush in 2016, Didi hitchhiking covered 31 provinces, with a total of 1.9 million people traveling together.
During the period of Spring Festival travel rush in 2016, the Ministry of Transport stated that the carpooling home launched by the Internet platform was supported by the Ministry of Transport as long as it was not for profit.
The reporter from Zhongxin. com has experienced cross-city hitchhiking many times. Taking Beijing to Shijiazhuang as an example, the cost required is basically the same as that of the second-class ticket of the high-speed rail. The most important thing is to pick up the car and send it, which saves the hassle of entering and leaving the train station.
However, the safety of hitchhiking has always been a focus of attention. For Spring Festival travel rush in 2017, Didi Shunfeng Business Department told Zhongxin.com that it will start in November. Didi began to plan this year’s Spring Festival cross-city home project. "At present, cross-city passengers have begun to implement safety measures such as passenger real-name authentication, owner’s three-certificate verification and face recognition to ensure smooth and safe travel."
