However, There is a Provision

The CNN report notes that while China Southern Airlines said that "passengers can use them as normal," there is a condition when it comes to these very cheap tickets. These tickets can be used as normal by the lucky passengers that got them only if they have already been paid for and issued.

It should be noted that those who bought tickets during the glitch were required to shell out 110 yuan (approximately $15). This amount covers airport fees and fuel surcharges.
