Anyone have tips of definitively securing Forbidden City tickets? I've been hearing that they release 30k tickets every 7 days in advance of the date that you intend to go, so you have to be on the ball about getting the tickets because they sell out fast.

For those of you who have done it, are you pretty much camping on the site at a specific time? I'm on Pacific Standard time so not exactly sure when ticket sales would open for the next available date.

Just trying to figure it out ahead because my wife is going to be *extremely* upset if we fail to procure tickets to see it.
