I get the ticket at last!

Recently I've been worried about getting a ticket home in Labor's Day, just as many other unfortunate guys who cannot get a ticket booked on the phone, even if they get up very early to wait for the hotline to start. I've tried for 2 days. Usually the line starts at 7 o'clock. The first day I dialed in as soon as 7 o'clock was striked. It was busy again and again and when I was finally put through, I was told that the tickets had been sold out. Oh, my god! The second day, I dialed in at 6:20, and was put through, but sold out again. Why? Doesn't it start at 7 o'clock? I tried again at 7 o'clock, busy, busy, busy, and when I finaly got in, I was still told no tickets remained. Maybe most of them were dispointed this time, because the tickets had been so-called sold out even before 7. Where have the tickets gone? Of course, most of them have gone to the ticket speculators! Do you have any idea how much they earn from a single ticket? 100 RMB at most! 150 on average in the Spring Festival. I gave up!

One of my friends called me at lunch time today. I was so excited to hear that he got two tickets for me. I wondered how he got the tickets. He proudly told me that he have some guy who is in charge of the ticket affairs centre! God, does money talks? Not always so. Power talks!
