Good luck everyone.
Centre and key points
▪ Ticket-grabbing software can’t increase the number of tickets. How many tickets are issued and how they are issued are only 12,306.
▪ Theoretically, the acceleration package to increase the probability of ticket grabbing is to use the difference in ticket purchase speed between it and ordinary users, and to bypass the ticket purchase system limitation through technical means.
▪ For users, the speed classification and ticket grabbing probability of the acceleration package are like a black box with opaque rules, and there is also a risk of information leakage.
▪ For OTA, train ticket purchase services will be a loss-making transaction if they don’t use their brains on the speed-up package.

Did you grab a ticket today?
As the Spring Festival is approaching, the old problem of buying tickets is back on time. The familiar “train ticket is too difficult to grab and needs your help” link has once again appeared in various WeChat groups; Ticket spitting is not uncommon.
Although the popularity of the high-speed rail network has greatly eased the pressure for the Spring Festival transportation, in the face of the huge population migration, it is difficult to obtain a ticket, which is still a common dilemma faced by many users.
Since the 12306 support for the purchase of train tickets online in 2011, the “main battlefield” of spring festival ticket grabbing has been shifted from offline train stations and sales outlets to online, although the General Administration of Railways has repeatedly stressed to the public that Buy tickets on the website or APP, but still can’t stop the emergence of many ticket grabbing software on the market.
The eager expectation of buying a ticket home has given birth to a large market for ticket-grabbing software. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently nearly 60 ticket-grabbing software operating in the market, including Zhixing train tickets, high-speed rail stewards, Ctrip, and Meituan , Flying Pig, Tongcheng Yilong, etc. all provide ticket grab services.
According to different needs, these companies that provide ticketing acceleration packages have different ticketing services; there are acceleration packages that allow friends to click to help by sharing links, and there are also acceleration packages that require money to buy. Behind the varied gameplay is the purpose that companies hope to use to speed up the package, just to acquire users and increase revenue.
For companies operating ticket-grabbing businesses, the acceleration package has earned enough exposure for them and brought considerable revenue.
But at the practical level, the role of the ticket rushing package has been questioned. For ordinary users, the acceleration package is more like some kind of product that is more trustworthy than untrustworthy. Everyone is using it. If you do n’t use it, you wo n’t have a ticket. The letter is doubtful, and more and more people forward the acceleration link to the group, or pay for the acceleration package.
However, whether the acceleration package, which has consumed human resources and money, can grab the ticket, is still a mystery to many people.
Digital Ox in the Internet Age
Before answering whether the acceleration package is useful, the first thing to explain is that ticket-grabbing software does not increase the number of tickets. How many tickets are issued and how to issue them are only 12,306. Like ordinary users, the ticket-grabbing software is also on the official website of 12306, so the acceleration package can only make a fuss about the ticket-grabbing process.
Ticket grabbing software can be divided into two types: ticket grabbing when tickets are on sale, and ticket refunding after tickets are sold out.
Among them, grabbing tickets when tickets are on sale is the most common situation encountered by most users. When a large number of users flood in, there are two factors that determine whether tickets can be grabbed-network speed and hand speed, which have also become the starting point of the acceleration package.
