These little knowledge of grabbing tickets should be mastered!
According to the previous ticketing rules, there are 21 ticketing time points on the 12306 website, that is, from 8: 00 to 18: 00, new tickets are available for sale at every hour and half hour. Passengers should remember the ticketing time points of their purchased trains and be prepared to grab tickets.
Passengers who did not grab the tickets at the time of ticket release may wish to refresh the 12306 website again 45 minutes after ticket release. At this time, there may be unpaid tickets returned to the system. In addition, at the time nodes such as 15 days, 48 hours, 24 hours and 30 minutes before driving, the refund is relatively concentrated, and those who have not grabbed the ticket can seize these time points to "catch the leak".
Judging from the situation in previous years, during the rush hour, the direct train tickets between the two places are often robbed quickly. Passengers can choose the function of "continuous transfer", and the ticketing system will show passengers the remaining tickets of some trains that have been transferred once on the way. If passengers choose to buy, they can complete the payment of tickets for two trips at one time.
