How long does it usually take for a standby ticket?

The timing of the alternate voting results is still uncertain.

Alternate ticket refers to a way for passengers to wait for the remaining tickets to be sold by submitting alternate orders after the official tickets are sold out. Because the number of tickets for each train is fixed, when the tickets for this train are sold out, if someone returns the tickets, the standby passengers will be given priority to buy tickets, but the specific waiting time is uncertain and needs to be determined according to the actual situation.

Generally speaking, the transaction time of standby orders depends on the refund rate and the priority of standby orders. If the refund rate is high, candidates have a higher chance of success. If the priority is higher, it is easier to get a vacancy. At the same time, the time of ticket purchase will also have an impact on the success rate. Generally speaking, the earlier the standby order is submitted, the higher the success rate.

Waiting requires patience, and the specific waiting time varies with the number of trains, the number of passengers, the time of ticket purchase and other factors. If you want to improve the success rate, you can try to submit multiple standby orders, choose the trains with high refund rate and submit the orders in advance.

The meaning of the standby ticket:

After the train tickets are sold out, spare tickets are a way to buy tickets, and passengers can wait for the remaining tickets to be sold by submitting spare tickets. In the process of buying train tickets, spare tickets are used as a way to buy tickets. When the normal booking and ticket grabbing are unsuccessful, the spare ticket becomes the last chance to grab the ticket.

When the originally ordered passengers refund their tickets or the tickets are vacant for other reasons, the system will make up the tickets in turn according to the priority of the standby personnel. If the passenger in the standby order is selected, the system will automatically deduct the fare, and then send a short message to remind the selected passenger to pay the fare and pick up the ticket.

In addition, the price of the spare ticket is the same as that of the normal ticket, but the seat position, car number and other information are not guaranteed.
