More people are buying tickets over the phone or the Internet for travel and other things. Not only are people doing their shopping electronically (电子地), but also many businessmen are giving “electronic tickets” or “e-tickets (电子机票)” to the buyers.
The most common use for electronic tickets today is for air travel. Airlines have surely removed paper tickets by asking more money for them than for electronic tickets. Although some companies offer the choice to buy tickets online, these tickets aren’t electronic, because they can be used by anyone holding the ticket for travel or entrance.
Electronic tickets are usually bought online, over the phone or from travel businessmen. A system online or over the phone will tell you that the ticket is electronic, and will ask you to offer some personal information depending on its requirements (要求). You’ll receive a confirmation (确认) number showing your buying. You should keep this number.
The system will also tell you what must be shown at the time of travel or the event. Photo identification, such as ID card, confirmation numbers and credit cards (信用卡) will probably be required. Make sure that you have the right ID. On the day of the travel or the visit, it will be used often.
