Challenge Tent tickets can be banked so long as you hit you max per day before the current challenge is completed by your dragon. Then when you finish the challenge quest, those tickets will be show up in your Social - Gifts tab as a gift from Backflip Studios.

So if you can max each day, you should be able to bank 50-100 tickets a day this way (100-200 on double days).

In addition, the Tickets that are sent along with gems/treats by your friends can also be banked, but you will have to not collect the gems/treats. This one might carry some risk if you have lots of friends sending you gifts though... Social tab crashing is a thing for some people...

I believe one Spin to Win (0-39 tickets, 1-79 on double days) or Name that Dragon (14 tickets max, 29 on double days) can also be banked if it's done exactly right, but it could be a bit tricky to end every day at 499 (999 on double days) tickets before the final game. They only let you play until you have hit max tickets right? Or can you hit max and then still play 10 games?... hmmm...

A more reliable one to push you over the limit might be the Colosseum, (25, 50 on x2) Get to ~499 and then collect, so 20+ should get banked.

Colosseum doesn't get banked, that extra would just disappear into the void

The sandbox lists Dusk + Sun (during the day) as a combo for Midday. I don't think that this is correct, is it?

If it works, then it's probably an accident on Backflip's side.

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be breedable from scratch yet - I think that might be the combo during the next Bring 'em Back.

Welll...BFS makes it possible to get 2 Midday w/ tickets, and I did just that.

Midday + Midday gives me a Midday, 1st try, setting on day.

Why are you so sure it's not supposed to be breedable yet? Remember last time, you were soooo sooo sure of the Ram dragon...

I get my 500 tickets every day without doing anything out of the ordinary, in fact I go over every day. However, I'm not interested in any of the prizes. I have two Middays dragons and a pedestal all through breeding - without buying any DC! Can the tickets be saved until the end of the competition? And do you think there might be a super duper triple deluxe prize at some point?

Cheers,
John

Except the colosseum doesn't get banked. Only activities on the island get banked.

As far as we know tickets can be saved until the end of the event. As for the super duper triple deluxe prize. Well we'll have to wait and see.

14th Island? 6-Egg Nursery? How big is big?

I'm saving as many as is practical to turn in, while buying a few things too. I have many tickets saved up on the Social Menu that I cash in once in a while.

I was surprised that the twilight tower became available in the first phase; I thought it was a pretty pricey item during BEB.  What is bigger than that?  Maybe the Relic of Epics?  The Lost Island?  A whole second nursery?  Dragonsai Forest?  Ok, stop me before I hurt myself ...

Tonight is an exception I had to visit few parks in order to meet the 500 quota. 

Since all the gifts will be available for duration of the event, my focus is strictly on the dragons.  Like you, I plan to save as many tickets as possible.  The next dragon may cost more or less than the current Midday dragon.  There will be more prizes ...so me.save. then me.spend.

Recently I've been failing to make the 500 limit. I normally get about 450 on my first visit to the vale, so that when I return I can do the banking and stuff... But I never have the time to come back into the vale currently. This is the time that I need to bank some tickets!
At least it's not the old style events...

Since all epic dragons can be bred through the CBC I'm focusing on everything that's not dragons. :-)

Hey everyone,

Just a quick message to say we don't allow discussion of hidden/future game elements in Dragonvale. BFS work very hard on the game to bring us the content when they want to bring it to us, and we don't want to spoil that surprise. We have a good relationship with the company, and we also don't want to do anything to jeopardise that.

No one is in trouble. Everything is cool. I am just explaining why I have edited a few posts in this thread.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Fletch

P.S. Has it been confirmed that we can redeem banked tickets in the final week?

Yup. Someone in the fb group emailed BFS and asked and posted screenshots of the affirmative reply.

So apparently it's been confirmed that during the last week of buying tickets, you can still collect tickets from your gifts.

One of the members of a private FB group just straight asked the backflipstudios support and got this response:

Brandy (BACKFLIP STUDIOS) said:

Hi there,
Thanks for your email. You will be able to collect any remaining tickets in your gifts after September 21 and then you will have a week to buy prizes with them.

Banking = master plan confirmed

I saw a post earlier about someone possibly buying more bonus celestial habitats with tickets if you stow the first one--it wouldn't work though right? Like you wouldn't be able to place both bonus habitats out in your park?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't try to do anything unintended though

I've had enough weird things happen with this game already!

Second nursery and Dragonsai forest!

Yes please!
