# Tickets Tickets are a secondary currency required to enter matches rewarding in-game Victory Gems. Tickets can be acquired in three ways: 1. Accumulation over time 2. Rewards from FREE Matches 3. Equipping NFTs in the Collection **Accumulation Over Time** All players will naturally generate tickets over time, at a rate of 1 ticket per 6 minutes. Generation is active while the count of tickets in a player’s Game Ticket stash is under 50. Tickets generated via this method go into a player’s Game Ticket stash. **Rewards from FREE Matches** Players can play in FREE Matches that award tickets as a means to acquire more tickets. Tickets won in this manner will enter a player’s Game Ticket stash. There is Global Pool that controls how many tickets can be earned through FREE Matches in a given period of time (12 hours). After the pool is exhausted, players can still continue to play, but will not be awarded any tickets until the Global Pool refreshes. **Equipping NFTs in the Collection** Each pin in a player’s collection has a ticket capacity and a ticket generation rate. Players have the option of extracting tickets from their pins through equipping them in order to generate tickets --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
