故宮博物院將全部實行網(wǎng)絡(luò)售票Palace Museum Plans Eeb-only Tickets

作為世界上年客流量最多的博物院，北京故宮博物院計劃于今年下半年取消現(xiàn)場窗口售票。故宮博物院院長單霽翔表示，網(wǎng)上售票能夠更好地控制不同時段的游客流量。這一計劃擬定于10月下旬開始實施，但仍會根據(jù)實際情況進行調(diào)整。故宮博物院于2011年開始進行網(wǎng)上售票，數(shù)據(jù)顯示，接近一半的門票是通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)預(yù)定的。單院長表示，在線支付系統(tǒng)支持英語等外語，外國游客可使用英語等語言購票。

The Palace Museum in Beijing, the most visited museum in the world each year, plans to stop selling paper tickets from its box office, perhaps by later this year. Shan Jixiang, the museum’s director, said an Internet-based system will be set up to better coordinate the number of visitors for different hours of the day. The new plan is preliminarily scheduled to be launched in an "appropriate time after late October", but he said it still depends on whether conditions allow. The Palace Museum opened its online ticket system in 2011, and its statistics show nearly half the tickets are sold via the internet. Shan said its online payment system will have English and other language versions to assist foreign visitors.
