**  Begin with February to the mid-March, the student travel ticket sales increased significantly with $10,000.00 to almost $36,000.00. After this, there was a marked fall to $20,000.00 until the mid-May. From May to the early July, the travel ticket sales for student jumped to $50,000.00 followed by a significant drop by nearly $35,000.00. This figure rocked to about $75,000.00 in October and then declined sharply to $30,000.00 followed by a stable trend. ** **   These fluctuations could be the result of a number of factors. The possible reason for the increased student ticket sales at the beginning of 2007 could be the Easter break in April, as students may have pre-purchased a short distant tickets for their week long holiday. In contrast, international students might possibly return home during the longer mid-semester break, and the rise of sales to $50,000.00 could have been attributed to this. The highest sales peak in this kind of ticket in October is almost definitely due to most international students returning home for the summer break and lost of Australian students might peak a overseas holidays during this period. The phenomena of low sales in April, July and over the summer holiday are probably the result of most of the ticket consumers is overseas. ** **   In summary, the student travel ticket sales oscillated throughout 2007, mainly due to the demand for travelling during their holidays. Student travel might likely to budget for this pattern continuously during 2008. **
