Demystifying the scalper ticketing routine

As the largest annual migration movement in the world, Spring Festival travel rush is always a hot topic at the end of the year. Whether you can become one of the protagonists of this great migration movement depends on whether you or your relatives and friends can master the survival skill of "grabbing tickets".

Less than a month before the Lunar New Year, the annual ticket-grabbing war came as scheduled. In the new year, the passenger flow is still very large, and it is still difficult to grab tickets. Many children's shoes called friends, stuck in front of the computer, and finally didn't buy tickets. In desperation, they had to go to the ox for help.

Before tickets to real-name registration system, scalpers would hoard a large number of tickets and then sell them to people who didn't buy them at high prices to earn the difference. This way is deeply disliked by railway departments and migrant workers in Spring Festival travel rush.

However, the arrival of real-name registration system has become a nightmare for many scalpers who make a living by scalping tickets. Wen Yijun remembers that when the real-name registration system was implemented, the media sang praises, saying that the problem of scalpers grabbing tickets from passengers was solved forever. But let's look at the reality, the height of the road is one foot and the height of the devil is ten feet. Today, scalpers are still making money for scalping.

Ticket real-name registration system also uses ID card today, so leave your phone number. Why can scalpers get tickets, but I can't?

First of all, scalpers who help others grab tickets full-time are generally teamwork. They are highly organized and have a clear division of labor. For example, someone is responsible for collecting ticket purchase information, someone is responsible for brushing tickets, and someone is responsible for managing data and accounts.

Secondly, in order to ensure the success rate of grabbing tickets, the scalper team usually invests a lot of server resources. They will spend a lot of money to rent well-known domestic e-commerce servers, use high-profile computers, install 100 megabits of broadband, and grab tickets through faster network speeds. Such a fast server is similar to a remote client. After logging in, you can open an interface which is a remote terminal provided by the service provider. Operating on this cloud-like server interface improves the speed of grabbing tickets.

At the same time, the scalper's automatic ticket grabbing artifact has a very powerful "automatic sensing system", just like automatically sensing a red envelope and grabbing a red envelope in the WeChat group. Once there is a ticket left, the sensitive sensory senses will immediately perceive it and then kill it immediately. This ticket. In addition to the bursting of luck, it is only a second to brush the ticket, otherwise we ordinary ticket buyers can't compete with such black technology at all.

After completing the process of the second ticket, some scalpers will look for buyers while waiting for the ticket payment information for 30 minutes, saying that no one has bought it for more than 30 minutes, and the ticket has returned to the system ticket pool. But some scalpers will pay for tickets directly and then hoard them in their hands to find buyers. If there is no suitable buyer for the remaining tickets, they will also use the rule of 15 days to refund the tickets.

In addition, when we grab tickets, the most time-consuming link is often to enter the verification code. However, scalpers often have more mature image recognition technology through the operation end of the ticket grabbing platform, and can usually automatically check the verification code option in the 12306 website. This process is often second-selected, which saves time and cost compared with manual check and improves the efficiency of grabbing tickets.

Some friends may be confused. Real-name registration system registration, how can scalpers get tickets that match the customer's identity information? This is the problem of information leakage that we hate. Information leakage occurs in any link where we relax our vigilance, such as express delivery orders, street surveys, buying a house and a car, and so on. Cattle will buy a lot of identity information in advance and use this identity information to buy tickets in advance. When a new order comes, scalpers will make use of the powerful advantages of the high-speed system to make the ticket information consistent with the customer's identity information.

Of course, not all scalpers can successfully help customers buy tickets, and there are also many "scammers" on the Internet. If you don't receive the SMS notification from the railway system, or you don't query on the network system, but only receive the ticket photos sent by the scalper, it is very likely to be a "synthetic" fake ticket. Therefore, Wen Yijun reminds the majority of passengers that they must stay awake and don't be fooled easily.

Why do passengers ask scalpers to grab tickets? The most fundamental reason is that tickets are scarce resources. If the railway department can appropriately increase the number of trains or subsidize other modes of transportation according to the operation plan, and at the same time, in order to avoid the paralysis of the website caused by the simultaneous influx of 12306 users, can it consider opening the ticket purchase channel by portal, region and time to save resources, improve the user experience and minimize the risk of passengers revealing their identity information?
