1000 Ticket Has A Definitive Answer

Where's PD when you need them to make a clarification. Oh well, I guess we all have our own beliefs and it appears that we all receive our tickets for apparently different reasons. So with that being said, good luck on trying to get them. We may never know the truth.
 
I have more than 39000km and over 500 wins and I only got 1000 Ticket twice.
It's not given for every 2000km nor is it given for every 100 wins.
I have 4 cars on which I've driven more than 2000km and I don't have any cars which have 100 wins so it's not car-related.
It's somewhat random, all I know is - it's not what it says.
If it was given for every 2000km and every 100 wins I should have had 24 of them.
As far as I know - 2000km/100 wins thing only works when you get to your 1st 2000km and your 1st 100 wins (on a new game start).

I pretty sure its 2000km on one event, 100 wins in one event...
 
I think I can now provide a definitive answer for this question. Earlier in the week I got a Ticket 1000 and decided at that point to see how I got it, I noted down I was on 2474 wins. Since then, and since PSN has been down I have been manually grinding A-Spec races to get another 100 wins and see if this would produce another Ticket 1000, it did.

My races were a mixture of the Indy race in LTW event @ the American Championship, also mixed in with those I did the DCC a few times, so 5 different tracks in total. Today, I got to 2568 wins and then started grinding 1 race at a time (usually I do 5 at a time to fully refresh the UCD), and then exiting to GTLIFE screen to see if a ticket popped up. On win 2571 it did. I also used 3 different cars, the X1 Prototype & the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car + the RM Corvette ZR1. Although I didn't note the amount of KM I ran I am pretty sure it was a lot less than 2000, so the only conclusion I can come to is that to get the Ticket 1000, all you need is 100 A-Spec wins, any car on any track.

Also note, I didn't do any B-Spec in between as I no longer do B-Spec at all anyway.

Make of that what you will, it is the absolute truth although i'm sure somebody will want to contradict me.

You're actually wrong on that one. The Indy race is the shortest of the bunch and it's over 20 km so 100 of them would already give the ticket - the rest of your races were longer so they really sealed the case. I've got the ticket for 100 races at Indy, also tested it on purpose.

The rest of the findings are spot on. That's how it indeed works and if someone decided not to believe it, bad for them.
 
Yeh, you must be right about the KM actually, like I said I didn't note them down but thinking about it I must have done over 2000. Still, at least we can be sure of 2 things:

You don't need to use the same car
You don't need to do the same track
 
I have over 36,000 miles and only have 3 ticket 1000's. I really don't have any definitive idea how this works for sure, but I can say it is not cumiliative KM that gives you a ticket. I don't auto grind, so that may hinder my results. Mostly endurance, and have never gotten one for completing a long endurance (over 2000km).

You don't get a ticket for such a thing, it's a myth.

You get a ticket every time you've won 100 A-spec races and accumulated 2000 A-Spec km - if one of the criteria is filled but the other isn't, nothing happens. A hundred victories does nothing if you've only done 500 km over them, likewise 5000 km does nothing if you've only won 90 races since the last ticket. In the first scenario the victories are there and you'll get the ticket when the mileage requirement is met - no matter how many victories at that point. In the second one the mileage is there and you'll have to win ten more races to get the ticket.

Only A-Spec counts (your total mileage shows B-Spec too so it's not much of a help) and the counters are reset after every ticket.

Ok so I've gone through several threads and read through dozens of pages about the 1000 ticket, but still no definitive answer.


So has anyone been able to narrow down the exact way to receive a 1000 ticket?

I've read answers covering everything such as "100 races same track, same car", "2000km different tracks, different cars", " 2000km and 100 races, same car, different tracks", "100 races, different tracks and cars".


So can someone give me an absolute answer to this so I can work on getting my 1000 tickets?

Do a race 100 times or drive a total distance of 2,000 km.

I've got it 4 times.

#1-Mercedes LM Car
#2- Toyoat prius (WTF!!)
#3 Team Orcea Dodge Viper
#4 73' Nissian Skyline

Now thats a good answer...gives me something to base it on...

Yes, this definitely makes more sense. I think I have something here that I can be sure is the correct answer.

Do the wins have to be consecutive? If you have racked up 99 wins in a row but lose race #100 does the count start over at zero?

You do not have to win the race, just complete it.

Also, i can now confirm that the game remembers your KM's and # of races even if you 2x or 3x the requirement for a ticket.

That is...on a long auto grind you DO NOT have to stop every 100/2000KM to collect your ticket, as previously thought.
For example: i just completed a 20hr auto grind tonight, when i stopped and backed out to the GT life screen my ticket popped. Then i had to choose another menu option ( i checked the UCD). After exiting the UCD another ticket popped. Enter and exit the UCD again and my third ticket popped.

get 'em while the gettin's good!

This I can verify, because I did a 10 hour grind yesterday on Like The Wind Indy track and I backed out to the menu, got my ticket. Went and changed my oil, backed out and got my other ticket. So apparently it keeps store of all the 1000/100 you do during one long grind.
 
I was just poking fun at the spelling of your handle. Sorry, I have a Swedish girlfriend so I cringe when I see it spelled like that (especially since "Smorgasbord" is not taken yet - if you go Premium you can have Jordan switch it for you if you want). Don't take it to heart, I was just saying. The wiki link was just to provide evidence as to the correct spelling. :)

Ya I realized I spelled it wrong about 2 weeks after I signed up. Not much I can do about it now. I knew what the word meant, just not how to spell it. Oh well! :lol:
 
No money to do so. Otherwise I would. I love this site and want to support it.


Back on topic. The answer has been found everyone. Read the OP (original post).
 
Sorry for nitpicking, but info in the OP isn't totally accurate.

You get a ticket every time you've won completed 100 A-spec races AND accumulated 2000 A-Spec km - if one of the criteria is filled but the other isn't, nothing happens. A hundred victories completed races does nothing if you've only done 500 km over them, likewise 5000 km does nothing if you've only won completed 90 races since [you] last [received a] ticket.

In the first scenario, the victory race completion requirement has been reached, and you will [then receive] the [1000] ticket when the mileage requirement is met - no matter how many victories finished races [you have] at the point [of accumulating enough KMs].

Now fixed.

I also confirm it isn't track or car dependant, and only in A-spec or seasonal events.

Sorry guys to stir up a hornet's nest.... this ticket 1000 still dun quite figure.
My first tix pops out after my B spec finishes Tsukuba 9hrs and go to main menu.
The 2nd after I bronze the S license S-7 circuit and go to main menu.
So I wonder if the ticket after B spec is retrospective or driving on license test also adds to my mileage or race. Seems almost random tho it says otherwise.
 
I just got my first 1000 ticket (and I'm very happy for it! :))

Yea, I had driven over 2000 km (yes, I'm sure of that) and I went to drive some Seasonals, come back and tadaa, ticket 1000 popped up! When I got it I had 54 wins in my A-Spec. I can say I had something like 100 finished races, so I think it needs 2000km and 100 wins. I'm doing a list which cars I have with it, trying to pick up GT Academy Nissan, 370z or GTR. :)
