[quote=APAULT,387032]There was a missing piece of information in your post LonelyJo: what do you mean by 'real name ticket'. It deduced eventually - from the bit about foreigners needing to produce their passports - that you mean the traveller's name is printed on the ticket (as I can't read Chinese, the ticket image didn't help). It seems a good idea for beating the scalpers but I can see even bigger queues at ticket offices while the information is recorded. And what about buying a ticket for family members who do not live in your home, maybe they live in 50 or 100 km away and will stop with you first..... you will not be able to get their ID card in time to buy a ticket. Foreigners names should prove interesting: Chinese names are never more than 3 characters, but western family names can be quite long. Mine is a moderate 8 characters, but 20 is possible. I wonder if there will be space. [/quote]
