If you want to know the ticket release time of a station, you can log in to the railway 12306 software to inquire. The viewing method is as follows: Open the Railway12306 app, find "My" in the lower right corner, find "Starting (Stopping) Selling Time" under the travel guide, enter the station and date to be queried according to the prompt, and submit the query.

Tickets are usually sold at one time, but new tickets will be sold in batches during the peak hours in Spring Festival travel rush or other peak periods. If passengers refund or change their tickets, they will be put back into the ticket warehouse and then released in batches as new tickets.
