12306 How long does it take for the ticketing software to produce results?

There is no exact time. Generally speaking, results will be produced from the time of grabbing tickets to the time before driving 1 hour.

If the system shows that the successful payment is the successful ticket purchase when grabbing the ticket, the APP will have a SMS notification. If you can't pay when you grab the ticket, you won't get the ticket, and your mobile phone won't receive SMS notification.

Grab the ticket:

Because the number of train tickets is limited, especially when Spring Festival travel rush needs a large number of people to return home, there are many train tickets, and there will be a shortage of tickets soon after they come out. At this time, you need to grab tickets.

Grab tickets means that the number of tickets is too small and there are many people booking tickets. In order to be "fair", this rule of grabbing tickets was created, that is, whoever is fast can grab the tickets. In fact, the button to grab tickets is equivalent to the refresh of the computer. As long as you have just refreshed the ticket, you can get it first. If you are unlucky, there is nothing you can do.
