Queue number system creates confusion as hundreds line up for tickets to see Liaoning aircraft carrier

Confusion broke out early Monday morning as representatives started giving out queue numbers to people waiting in line for tickets to see the Liaoning, China’s first aircraft carrier, hours before the official time.

By 9.40am, all numbers had been given out at one of the distribution points, the Gun Club Hill Barracks, leaving many disappointed members of the public standing by the side of the road. Ticket distribution was originally scheduled to be from 1pm to 3pm.
