长途“有票”，短途却“无票”？ 铁路12306回应售票策略

Core Viewpoint - During the Spring Festival travel season, passengers often find that while long-distance trains show availability for the entire journey, short-distance segments may indicate no tickets available. This is attributed to a ticketing strategy prioritizing long-distance travel to maximize resource utilization and meet passenger demand [1]. Group 1: Ticketing Strategy - The ticketing process for long-distance trains involves three main stages: pre-allocation of ticket quotas (approximately 20% allocated to nearby stations), dynamic adjustments, and open sales [2]. - For example, on February 13, the G246 train from Guangzhou South to Shanghai Hongqiao had a total of 1,238 seats, with 21% (260 tickets) allocated to nearby stations during the pre-allocation phase [2]. - In the dynamic adjustment phase, from January 31 to February 11, 395 long-distance tickets were gradually released, resulting in 272 successful ticket orders and 408 tickets issued [2]. Group 2: Ticket Sales Performance - Since the beginning of the Spring Festival travel season, a total of 12.8 million tickets have been successfully issued through the ticket reservation system, achieving a success rate of over 70%, with 51% of these being short-distance tickets [2].
