SOF Tickets & Prize Store

For the fifth year in a row, Spin-Off Festival Tickets (aka SOF Tickets for short) returned. The prize store returned again as a store section.

Several old prizes from previous years returned. Here is a list of what prizes were available (Bold indicates new):

iFish Items:

Collectables:

  • Glove Balloon (300 Tickets)

Badges:

  • Fist O Pain Badge (1,000 Tickets)

  • Community Deathmatch Badge (1,000 Tickets) (Loyal Customers)

Here were several methods to earn SOF Tickets this year:

  • Post a new chapter of any spin-off and/or literature, and this gives you 30 SOF Tickets.
  • Win events such as Jeopardy, Spin-Off & Literature Trivia, Wheel of Fortune, SpongeCraft, Dunces & Dragons, etc. Don't panic if you can't win them though, because: Whoever reaches the Top 5 spots of any event receives SOF Tickets, not just the first place person.

  • Compete in mini-games in Glove Universe Rides.
  • Win the Lottery during the event, which gives you 400 SOF Tickets.
