Did anyone's festival tickets disappear?

At about 11:30am or so I checked back into my Guild Wars game to check on my character on the 9 rings game. I ran out of tickets but still had an amount less than 10. I think it was 7. I don't recall selling the tickets back to a merchant or ticket seller. I know I didn't trash them or drop them in an explorable area.

Later I logged in again and the tickets are gone from my inventory. Not in storage, nor my main character. I didn't log in an other characters. My afk 9 rings character only has 10 gold, which means I didn't sell any back. My main character and storage both had 0 gold.

Did anyone else's tickets disappear when the festival games ended?

The rings ate them

ummm........

If you are standing on the rings all that time you were just unlucky. Check your unlucky title - it should be bigger by at least 25*number of stack you had

People sometimes do not realise how fast tickets could gone if you are unlucky and losing game after game.

Reading Comprehension ftw?

I had 9 festival tickets after the event was ended, about an hour ago I binned them. I'm pretty sure you must have done the same or misplaced them somehow.

maybe you lost EVERY SINGLE game.
sucks to be you.

No, I had 1 left at the festival end and sold it to the merch...

I spent 40k just to get rank 1, I was at 17k before the event started 40k for 33000 points is horrible IMO, I don't even care about titles but since all u have to do is AFK I decided to give it a try, Won't waste my money on garbage title again.

I was on the rings game that requires 10 tickets to play and the chat screen said I must have at least 10 to play. So no my tickets didn't get eaten by the game. I was on the one that requires 10.

I have 1.4 million lucky points, so I obviously have "wasted" a lot of cash. Thing is, you get to a stage where you have pretty much everything regards loads of high end weapons which just fill up your inventory so why not just stand on rings for an easy title. I was waying up how to get to 30 top titles and to be honest, I have 19 now, I know I can easy get to 25 because I'm not doing to bad elsewhere, but to get to 30 going to be tough so I'll take it!

Actually some districts just seemed unlucky, ninja, ID7 5k worth of tickets made my sister 2k. ID1 the same day same time 5k tickets made me around 10k. We were both standing in the centre ring

As for tickets disappearing - can't say I noticed that, but then I managed to use mine up fully before the end of the event.

Nope, I still had like 10 stacks of tickets when the festival ended. Fortunately the merchant buys them back at the same price they sell them for so no loss there. And like the other poster said, easy title, helps retain lockpicks. I got a full hom, what the heck else am I gonna spend money on.

be cool and buy 40000 tickets like me

Just checked, still in my storage... all of them.
Guess you just misplaced them?

Maybe your tickets were duped, and they poofed

This isn't Diablo 2 :-p

When it was about 11:42am or so, I say that I had some number of tickets below 10. I think it was 7 or 9. And I closed Guild Wars. Later in the afternoon I went back on and I can't find the tickets.

nope both of the remaining tickets I have are still in my storage awaiting pick up by the mule who had them last----

I'm trying real hard to remember what the last digit of the number of tickets I had left was last time I turned off the monitor and went to sleep. If it was 0 or 5 it's obviously 1 in two chance I had 0 tickets when I ran out of tickets, the other possibility being having 5 tickets. I know I ran out at some point in the weekend with 7 tickets left. I think I once had 9 tickets left but I'm not sure if that was the last time I ran out or not. I'm hoping it's not someone who accessed my account and took or trashed the remaining tickets just to mess with me. I did a virus scan and everything and changed all my passwords anyways. Is it possible the game had a glitch and the tickets i had left got lost in it?

binned them rather than just selling them to the merchant?

I know I didn't sell any back to the merchant or ticket seller because I would have remembered that. In my mind clicking on the Sell tab would have made a memory impression or something that I would have remembered well.

I'm thinking it's either a glitch that took the tickets or maybe I did have a total amount of tickets that ended in a 0 or 5 in the ones digit and that I had 0 tickets left when I ran out. I don't recall how many tickets I started out with before going AFK to sleep. I was pretty sleepy and I may not have looked at the amount. If so I probably didn't note it with much attention.

I did 25 hero fff runs to get 3.75k, enough to get a stack of tickets. I transfered the faction for 5 amber chunks and 5 urgoz scrolls to get extra money. I got 5 of each to see which yielded more money but they both only got me 100g each. So I used the total amount of gold to get a stack of tickets plus an extra amount. I don't recall if this partial stack ended in a 0 or 5. I went to the middle 9 rings circle, turn off the monitor, and went to sleep.

I awoke and turned on the monitor and moved the mouse to turn off the screen saver. This is a crucial point because I remember seeing the chat box saying I needed 10 tickets to play. So that means I ran out, okay. Now usually when this happens I look at my inventory F9 window to see how many tickets I have left. Usually it's been some number other than 0 or 5 throughout the weekend. This last time, I'm not sure. I don't know how to hypnotize myself to remember. I tried to imagine a completely empty F9 window but was careful to not make myself remember it that way because I wanted to when it may not be true. Being passive in my thinking, the image of an empty F9 window did cause a ping! in my mind, as in yes it may have happened.

So maybe I can assume this is the most probable thing that happened. I think I may have even thought "no tickets" at that moment. That also feels familiar. I tried to do the same thinking to remember how many tickets I had in the partial stack but I don't think I even paid attention to that.

Anyone ever had an episode like this?

I'm sure I had a 5 ending number, because I bought as much tickets I could at the moment and the number ended in 7, and I thought it was dumb to have 7 tickets so I sold 2 back to the merchant.

A few hours later I return and the number of tickets left in my inventory was neither 0 or 5, but 8. I'm sure the counting is somewhat glitched. I thought it was weird, but decided to spend those in the 16 rings anyway.

Whoa whoa, wait a minute, how did that happen? Something must be up with that. So maybe there is a glitch. Your incident is now the second we're hearing about a possible glitch.

Anyone else?

Damn, you're right, those 9 tickets would have gone hella long way.

Maybe just maybe your data didn't get saved to the server properly?
I remember when one boardwalk event was on we had a few rollbacks
and glitches and they said it was a server hiccup but that involved a lot of peeps
not just one or 2.
I still had a few stacks left at end of event and was kicked back to shing je
without incident.

Hmm it could be. It was close to the scheduled end of the festival. It was about 11:42am or so when I woke up and checked my character, the ending scheduled for 12 noon. The game was still going on but maybe there were multiple new builds for the transition like what happened when the festival began. If that happened to me, it may have happened the next time I logged in after that. I think I closed GW right after to go back to sleep or something, then some hours later I went back in and maybe a number of new builds for GW happened during that time.

EDIT: ~Oh yeah I remember something else! When the festival began I planted my character on the 9 rings game and it said a new build is available. So I closed GW and went back in and instead of being in the Sing Jea outpost I was back at Lutgardis where I do hero fff. That was when the thing began though and it didn't occur to me to check how many tickets I had before and after that. But yeah something like that did happen this weekend.
