Every season, players have the chance to complete various challenges and quests, which will reward them with a seasonal tickets. For instance, during the Solar Flare seasons players will be able to earn a Solar Flare Ticket.
Seasonal Tickets are items that are given to players upon completion of various tasks.

Players will be able to receive 1 Seasonal Ticket with each Daily Reward

Most of seasonal tickets will come from the above in-game challenges. Players may also be rewarded with seasonal tickets via multitude of game mechanics being implemented in the game
Seasonal Tickets cannot be found within harvesting crops from 1st August 2024
A player can also discover a Seasonal Ticket by planting crops each day. This is weighted based on the time a crop takes to grow (including any speed buffs). Crops that take longer to grow, have a higher chance of yielding a Seasonal Ticket. For example:
A 55 second Sunflower has 55/2592000 chance of yielding a ticket
A 24 hour Radish has a 86400/2592000 chance of yielding a ticket
Instant Crops have a 0% chance of discovering a seasonal ticket.
Every season will have lots of rare items for players to choose from. You must be strategic in how you allocate your free Seasonal tickets. Do you risk it and go for something extremely rare or secure some mid tier items?
This creates a fun emergent behaviour where players need to consider desires of the community and plan accordingly.
Each season will have a range of items that cater for different player types. A new player would likely go for a high supply decoration, whereas an OG player would go for the high-end items.
Seasonal tickets introduces a game of risk where you must strategically plan what items you want to strive for and predict what items other players will try to get.
Each season will have multiple items available at Stella's Megastore, rotating every month.
Once you collect the required ingredients (resources and/or Seasonal tickets) you can craft an item.
Seasonal items are removed from the store at the end of the season.
You can also visit the Garbage Collector NPC and swap your Seasonal Tickets for Coins after the season is over.
How good!
Yes, the team will publish the available items in a season ahead of time so you can plan and strategies accordingly. However, the team reserves the right to announce additional surprise or seasonal events.
No.
Players will still need to gather a significant amount of resources to complete NPC deliveries for tickets. Seasonal tickets does not aim to replace the required resources, it is a bonus mechanism. Players must still grind and burn a significant amount of resources to craft an item.
Do I need to buy the banner to play?
Players who choose not to buy the seasonal banner/s can still play. They are able to complete coin deliveries as per normal, expand, level up, trade on the plaza once a day and upgrade to new islands.
Seasonal tickets have utility during the active season. Do not expect future utility to to come once the season has ended
