Tatkal Quota booked completely as soon as counter opens at 8:00am

Hi,

I wish to go to Lucknow from Mumbai and was waiting online in the morning at 8:00 am on 10th April to book the tatkal Ticket for 15th April. The tatkal quota was supposed to open for 15th on 10th only. Before 8:00 am the availability for Sleeper class in train 2534 Pushpak was shown as Available 250. but just in 1 min it showed REGRET. I have been experiencing this since last 3 days everyday.

Now theoretically that can be possible with the number of reservation counters and online reservations. But practically everyday the availability for the tatkal quota in the all the classes being exhausted AT ONCE with in a minute is not possible. It takes about a minute to book a ticket even.

In such a case if a person wish to travel cannot travel even with the tatkal ticket. I know there has to be some Travel Agents behind this. But this is really frustating. CAN SOMEONE DO ANYTHING or atleat let me know the contact details of the person who charges extra money to give these tickets.

Thanks a Lot!!
