Price Hikes
· 5 min read
Old Wang, an ordinary programmer, looked forward to going home for the Spring Festival more than anything else all year. Knowing how difficult it was to snag a ticket, he opened a well-known third-party ticket booking platform early. The page was full of flashy colors, with various "Speed Ticket Snatching," "Exclusive Channels," and "VIP Acceleration Packs" dazzling his eyes.
"Here we go again with this," Old Wang muttered to himself, but his hand still obediently clicked on "Normal Booking." The page refreshed, showing that there were plenty of tickets available, but the price was fifty yuan more expensive than on the official 12306 website.
