TOPIC: Golden Tickets...your thoughts?

Good question.  I'd be in the same boat.

I like the "special token bag" idea for a silver ticket =D, but I am still unlikely to be able to buy anymore. =(

<br />Thanks for the feedback gamers!  It was all very thoughtful and well considered.  I knew it would be a good idea to get your feedback.<br /><br />First, one thing I wanted to make clear about the 4C thing.  There was no ethical breach there.  Just a screw up on my part, and once I was made aware of the situation, it was fixed.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - <br /><br />Okay...no more Golden Tickets in the second batch.  I don't want to make them less cool.<br /><br />As far as a Silver Ticket?  Hmm...I don't know.  I don't want it to be too gimmicky -- but it would be nice to have some thing special in the second batch of tokens.<br /><br />Can everyone chime in one more time and give their idea for a Silver Ticket?  Here is one idea:<br /><br />16 tickets spread out among a "half-order" of tokens (thus double the chance of getting a GT)<br /><br />  -- Good for a FREE special 8:00/8:01pm run on Thursday night<br />  -- All players under the effects of The Horn of Plenty without having to wear one<br />  -- Special 10-pack at start (contains 1 UR, 1 Combo Token, 8 Rares) that comes in a cool pouch<br /><br />BTW, the GT runs will be like the above Silver Ticket...only BETTER.<br /><br />Feedback?<br />

<br /><br />I would rather have the lotto, but it sounds good to me.   =D

<br />Just a side question, but I'm curious about the signed module that comes with the $1k purchase... does that have to be one large order, or does it apply if the orders are cumulative?<br /><br />If there's a 'Silver Ticket' offer, then it might just push me over that limit. (OhgodsIcan'tbelieveIjustsaidthat.)<br />

<br /><br />In the past we have taken an accumulative approach to the premiums, so that several small orders can add up to a big premium.

Jeff,<br /><br />  That sounds like a great compromise!<br /><br />  I have to ask the obvious question: Would wearing a horn stack with the silver ticket effect? <br /><br />

<br /><br />Why am I not surprised by that question!  Mr. Tensor strikes again!  =D  I would have to say no.  Let's just say it is assumed everyone is already wearing a Horn of Plenty but they can wear something else too.

Is it bad to have a GT and want a ST as well...??<br /><br />That run sounds cool too, is my point.<br /><br />I think this is all about giving something cool back to the fans of TD - and in the case of token purchases, the financially supporting fans of TD.  With the introduction of GTs in random packs - anyone can win...it drove up sales and we also saw winners who may have made what some would call a modest purchase.<br /><br />I commend Jeff for the creativity, and the flexibility and seeking out our feedback. <br /><br />Go with the ST plan Jeff...be it 8 or 16 - maybe you could get a full run of tokens and spread them out (but track where they are) and if some of that run does not sell - pull them out and then raffle them off some way shape or form?<br /><br />

No Gary, it is not bad to want a Silver Ticket in addition to your Golden Ticket.  I have to say this, you see, because I believe(by and large) that I'm not a bad person.  I, too, want a Silver Ticket in addition to my Golden Ticket.  Though, I might(probably would) end up giving it to a friend in return for something to be determined.  Granted, my odds of getting one are not good considering the luck I had with my first purchase, but you never know.

You know it is all about the memories...going on a GTR or STR or Katrina run or whatever...they are all special fun - and the stuff of high adventure!

I'd make the silver ticket run as the last run on Saturday so that it doesn't interfere with people's schedules.  Most of the silver tickets will go out after event registration.<br /><br />Kim

<br /><br />Oh, some other more specific feedback - I love the fact that I can use my Amulet of Wonder and STILL get the 3 picks per treasure box!  Also - that special 10 Pack is amazing - an UR, Combo Token, and 8 Rares is going to be FUN to open!  =)
