Tickets can be purchased over the telephone (9510 5105) 4-12 days (tickets during Spring Festival travel rush are available 20 days in advance since January 2013, but this is subject to change). According to new rules introduced on Jan 1, 2013, all train tickets must be collected within 24 hours of purchase. Tickets are non transferable and are void if not used on the correct day.

Using the real-name system, if a passenger loses their train ticket they can report the loss to get a new ticket. The replacement fee for lost tickets is 2 RMB and passengers will receive a ticket replacement.
