Train tickets on the first day of the May Day holiday officially went on sale yesterday. Did you get a ticket? If you haven't bought a ticket, you can buy a standby ticket at 12306.

According to CCtv.com,The standby function of 12306 railway has been affectionately referred to as the "official treasure" by netizens, with an average cash rate of 70 percent.

Staff at 12306 said the number of waiting orders is divided into large, medium and small. A large waiting list does not mean there is no chance of cashing out, and a small one does not mean full cashing out.When you book a ticket with multiple passengers, you have a better chance of success by using separate accounts.

According to the official website of China Railway 12306.cn, when a passenger purchases a ticket on 12306.cn (including a mobile app) and enters the information such as the date of departure and delivery to the station to check that there are no remaining tickets, the word "standby" will appear in the display list of remaining tickets for the relevant train number. Passengers can click the "standby" area corresponding to the corresponding train number and seat according to their needs. The system automatically adds the demand to the list of current waiting ticket demand.

Each user can submit 2 alternate orders, and each order can add 2 adjacent ride dates with the same delivery to the station (which can be different stations in the same city), and each ride date can add 5 different combination requirements of "train number + seat".

After the advance payment is successful, the system will continue to try to cash the waiting demand for passengers (the same waiting demand will not be partially cashed). If there is a ticket matching the demand, the system will automatically generate the paid order. If the advance payment is greater than the actual ticket amount, the system will automatically return the difference of the ticket amount. If there is no seat that meets the demand of passengers, the cashing will be automatically terminated within the cashing deadline. If the user voluntarily terminates or the system automatically terminates the waiting list, the system will automatically refund the original advance payment.
