Author/Gao Yue journalist Zhao Li, Zhang Shoukun intern Li Danyang, who works in Beijing, has recently been troubled by ticket snatching. On the eve of May Day this year, she used the 12306 backup function to buy a train ticket and went home. However, after waiting for many days, she was unable to buy a ticket; Now, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming. In order to buy a train ticket home, she decided to use ticket grabbing software. Members who have opened three ticket grabbing apps and bought acceleration privileges have spent a lot of money, but tickets have not been snatched yet. "A reporter from the Legal Daily recently learned that many travelers preparing to travel during this year's Mid Autumn Festival National Day holiday have encountered the same" ticket buying difficulty "as Li Yue, and some travelers have pinned their" hope "on third-party platforms such as" light speed ticket grabbing "," ticket grabbing tool ", and" ticket free tool ". However, on September 20th, China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. clarified through official Weibo and other channels that Railway 12306 has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets, nor can it give the so-called "priority ticket purchase right" to third-party platforms. In this regard, many netizens directly call these "ticket grabbing tools" on third-party platforms "scammers"; But at the same time, some netizens are also puzzled: previously, they often used third-party platforms to grab tickets and did indeed buy train tickets. What's the matter? What are these "ticket grabbing artifacts"? Does it work? Ticket grabbing software is widely available in various forms, including adding money.

So, does ticket grabbing software really matter? In the eyes of Mr. Zhang from Hedong District, Tianjin, ticket grabbing software is purely a scam. He told reporters that before the Spring Festival last year, in order to buy a high-speed rail ticket back to his hometown, he registered a ticket grabbing software at 12306, and spent 30 yuan to buy an acceleration package. The next day, he received a message from 12306 reminding him that his ticket grabbing software was still in the process of ticket grabbing. The ticket grabbing software claimed that the money for purchasing the acceleration package could be refunded if I couldn't get the ticket. However, when I was about to cancel the ticket grabbing, the ticket grabbing software successfully grabbed the ticket and sent me a text message asking me to share this' good news' on social media. Mr. Zhang recalled that he immediately contacted the customer service of the ticket grabbing software and said that 12306 was earlier than the ticket grabbing software's successful backup, hoping that the other party could refund it, Unexpectedly, the other party claimed that "the reason why they were able to successfully wait on 12306 was because they used ticket grabbing software" and refused to refund. During the interview, the reporter found that passengers encountered various problems when using ticket grabbing software. Shanghai citizen Chen Kuan has encountered the problem of "if you want to succeed in ticket grabbing, you need to buy more stations". He told reporters that because he was interested in a ticket grabbing software with the function of intelligent recommendation of ticket combinations, he downloaded it and registered it for use, As a result, when I returned from Shanghai to Suzhou, Anhui, I was recommended to travel on the same train and buy an additional 6 stops, which means buying Beijing directly from Shanghai and then getting off early from Suzhou. The original 200 yuan ticket cost more than 500 yuan for the entire journey.
