Not to be rude here but that entirely misses the point of the tickets. The tickets are a CON JOB, a device to manipulate you out of your money. Let's think about this and what's REALLY going on here. •You don't buy the cosmetics •What you buy is access to turn tickets you've earned for cosmetics •If you don't earn all the tickets before the event ends, you don't get the cosmetic. This is 'good' for multiple reasons. 1) Say you're a player who is willing to buy cosmetics and completes all challenges, earning every ticket. Great! You wanted all the cosmetics, you got something fun to do, life is peachy. 2) Say you're a player who bought the pass but hasn't earned all the tickets. Well, not so great. You paid to get this cosmetic bundle, but, since you were unable to earn all the tickets to claim all the cosmetics, the only way left to get all the cosmetics is to use the tickets you earned during the event to get as many as you can, and buy the rest with silver. So you wind up paying for the bundle, PLUS buying silver to get everything. 3) Say you're a player not willing to pay for a cosmetic bundle. OK, you do the event, and in the course of doing the event you earn tickets. Now you have these 'valuable' tickets and the event is about to end. What are you going to do? Just let the tickets expire? They ARE worth something, right? If you buy the pass then you get to redeem those tickets and get the cosmetics, so why not just buy the pass, I mean, you already have the tickets, go for it! The event ends tomorrow! Whether you see it or you don't this crap works! It's the same reason we can't just flat out buy seasons. It's like: •I want the new season •I give you money •You let me play the season Right? But Bungie says no, no, no, •You want the season •You convert your money to Eververse currency •You buy the season with our funny money. This way the season is $10, you pay $10, but when you pay your $10, but they throw in an extra 100 silver. Same deal as the tickets, now you have this currency whose ONLY value is when you spend money. That extra free 100 silver isn't enough to buy something, but, you have silver now! And if you use that silver you're saving money! If a finisher costs 1000 silver and you already have 100 silver you're saving money by buying the finisher! I mean c'mon, what are you going to do, not spend that free money? Just let that free money sit there... unused? The more you think about it the more you realize: 'I'm wasting money!' Because you've got 100 silver, and if you don't use it you're actually wasting money! So you decide the best thing to do, the smartest thing to do is buy that super cool, totally awesome, radical finisher. It costs 1000 silver so you buy 1000 silver and get the super cool, totally awesome, radical finisher. But... When you bought the silver to buy the finisher they threw you an extra free 100 silver again. Now you have 200 silver on your account. I mean, 200 silver, can't let that go to waste. You're not going to just throw away money are you? ....and so on and so on
