What do you mean, the ticket shows the alternate?

A standby ticket refers to a passenger who has not bought a ticket for the first time. They can queue up to book tickets that first appear in the system by submitting standby orders.

Both computer and mobile client can operate. After selecting seats for standby trains, the system will inform passengers of the current queue position with green, yellow and red prompts, with less green, more medium yellow and more red. At this time, you can submit the ticket purchase demand on the ticket purchase software according to the required seats, dates and trains, and pay the money.

The ticketing system will automatically sort out passengers' needs online. If there are other passengers who have already purchased tickets, they can issue tickets in the waiting order, and the final result will be notified to the passengers by SMS. If the ticket purchase is successful, the system will automatically refund the difference to the passenger's account according to the fee charged by the actual seat fare.

Cost:

The advance payment for standby ticket purchase is calculated according to the order, and each advance payment is calculated according to the highest fare in different combination requirements of the order (the berth is calculated according to the lower berth fare). When the user successfully settles the ticket, if the advance payment exceeds the actual ticket, the system will automatically return the balance. There is no extra charge for the standby ticketing service.

The submission and redemption time of the alternate ticket purchase order is the same as the website operation time, from 6: 00 to 23: 00 every day. If the driving time is between 0: 00 and 5: 59, the standby termination time should be no later than19: 00 two days before driving; If the driving time is from 6: 00 to 23: 59, the standby termination time shall not be later than 19: 00 on the day before driving.

According to the railway department, within the above time range, passengers can set their own time to terminate the exchange when submitting the standby order, or they can voluntarily terminate the exchange at any time after submitting the standby order. If the passenger voluntarily terminates or the system automatically terminates the standby, the system will automatically refund the advance payment in full. When the alternate ticket purchase order is submitted, successful or terminated, the railway department will push it to the user through SMS, WeChat and mobile phone client. If there is a trip conflict, passengers will be reminded in the message.
