    yeah i've done that a fair bit - i feel like my technique is good but i just need to upgrade my bikes a bit more.
    aside from showdowns and slot machine, is there any other decent way to get money?

    i used to play ANBA a lot but the penalty for skipping is horrendous and improving on my times can be VERY difficult especially if i've beaten them with an applicable bike in showdowns.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been thinking today (not in the shower like sriskus, but just thinking). What if RL will cut all of our golden tickets at the end of the season? Naturally, most of the legends will start saving golden tickets weeks in advance of the next season so that everyone launches max amount of session at the start. So imagine the surprise on our faces when we all log into the Bunker on 2 Feb and find our hundreds of tickets gone...

    They could do that, easily.

    I think with ideas like that one I should work for RL, or better yet, for Ubisoft

    Anything is possible. But since people can actually pay for tickets, having them take away something people paid for would raise a huge outcry against them, so it seems unlikely.

    i agree they arent going to take away what someone potentially paid for. if they did it would also really hurt the potential for anyone to pay for them again.

    honestly, i wonder why anybody would ever think of buying golden tickets with real money.

    10 tickets is £0.79.
    if i log in twice over a 1 hour period i can make those tickets, no question.

    say you have 50 friends and you log in once per hour.
    you log in 12 times during a day - suddenly you've made 60 tickets in a single day for absolutely nothing
    and this is speaking lightly; many people will log in much more often and a lot of the people on here will be getting north of 100 tickets per day.

    my issue is that with tickets being at the price they are, only a fool would buy them.
    i know it's all about making money, but it seems odd that something you could buy at an expensive price can alternatively be earned for free VERY easily.

    .
    All very true! Also note that in the Chip Shop you need to spend a whopping 750 chips to get a measly 3 tickets. Let alone the crazy prices in their for upgrade parts....

    Their whole PvP economy and ticket pricing makes no real sense; something will change eventually, but I can't imagine how

    exactly!
    the idea of it is good, just the execution which is a little suspect.

    if the developers can tweak it a little to make it more balanced, they could definitely make more money out of golden ticket sales.
    because ultimately, although this is a game for fun, it is also a business to the people who make it.
