In a few days, the second round of ticketing for booking 2 million Olympic tickets will begin. These days, the Olympic ticketing center is making a series of preparations for the ticketing website to prevent the "reservation page paralysis" in the first round of ticket grabbing.
Rong Jun, director of BOCOG ticketing center, revealed that BOCOG is preparing for the start of the second phase of Olympic tickets.
Yesterday, Rong Jun said in an interview with the National Business Daily that the second phase of air ticket booking will start soon before the end of this month. "At present, BOCOG is preparing to launch the second Olympic tickets, and the specific launch date has not yet been finalized. Since it is a' first come, first served' policy, we will definitely give notice in advance. "
It is reported that the total number of tickets sold in the second stage is nearly 2 million, of which more than 600,000 tickets are left in the first stage. A hotline staff member of China Bank said that the "first come, first served" policy adopted in the second stage was "completely faster than who bought the ticket".
The other party indicated that, unlike the first stage of "online subscription and then confirmation by lottery", in the second stage, online and on-site booking can be made through BOCOG's ticketing website or China Bank's business outlets, "and remittance can be made on the spot or cash can be paid".
Considering the possible booking peak at that time, the ticketing center is currently making a series of preparations for the ticketing website. Upgrade and forecast the corresponding network hardware and website capacity.
In April this year, the ticket booking for the first phase of the Olympic Games was officially launched. It is reported that tens of thousands of netizens flocked to BOCOG's official ticketing website at the same time, which caused the booking page of the ticketing website to be paralyzed for more than 20 minutes. Afterwards, a staff member of the ticketing center said that fortunately, emergency preparations were made in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The total number of tickets purchased by each person shall not exceed 50.
In addition, BOCOG also reminds the public that both online remittance and cash payment must use an international general credit card marked VISA, or a debit card or all-in-one account of Bank of China. At present, the Bank of China has 33 outlets in Shanghai that can handle on-site booking of Olympic tickets, and citizens can also call the hotline 95566 for consultation.
As the only designated bank for the Beijing Olympic Games, China Bank said yesterday, "Up to now, there are not many customers who handle China bank cards specifically for this purpose, except for the increasing number of customers who book tickets by telephone. Many customers generally choose on-site transactions when they hear that they can go to the outlets to pay the ticket in cash. " The staff of China Bank's booking hotline said that each booking citizen can only buy 2-5 tickets for each competition, and the total number of tickets purchased should not exceed 50.
There are two ways to buy tickets for the second stage of the Beijing Olympic Games. One way is to buy tickets online on the official website designated by BOCOG. The other is to book directly at the China Bank outlet and pay the ticket by credit card or cash.
According to BOCOG ticketing work plan, June and July 2008 are the time for ticket distribution and collection. BOCOG said that the public can get tickets at least 30 days before the opening of the Olympic Games. However, in order to ensure safety, the ticket will not be mailed directly to the mailing address left by the citizens when booking, but will be collected by myself at the "Bank of China Sales Point designated by BOCOG" when booking.
