Tickets

Tickets are items that allows the player to receive a random item in Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 7.
==Gran Turismo 5==
Tickets (also officially referred as Gift Car Coupons) can be received from various career mode and special events, as well on player's birthday if the player was at the PSN Main Account age (at least 18 years old) before the game's online services were closed on May 30, 2014. Prize cars from career events and DLC cars are also delivered as tickets, as well as cars received from other players. These tickets can be claimed from Car Delivery screen in GT Life's main menu screen and can be claimed at any time.
Most gift car coupons can be sent to (or received from) another player. However, fixed car tickets containing cars worth 1,000,000 credits could not be sent to other players with the introduction of car gifting restrictions in version 1.07, except for a brief period following the update's release between February 28 to March 3, 2011.Million-Credit GT5 Car Trading Ends March 3rd - GTPlanet Tickets obtained from online special events (such as GT Academy events) and for DLC cars cannot be sent to other players either. The ability to send/receive gift car coupons from other players, along with restrictions surrounding this feature, became moot when the game's online services were closed.
The following random prize car tickets are available; note that not all cars can be received from them (in particular, only cars available from the game's day one can be obtained; cars released from updates, regardless if a DLC have to be downloaded and installed or not, as well as pre-order cars, cannot be obtained from them):

The Level 24 ticket is one of the most desirable tickets in the game, as it is one of the ways to obtain the Formula Gran Turismo (necessary for the Formula Gran Turismo World Championship). Additionally, the Nissan 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version) '08 can only be obtained from a Level 12 ticket or the 1000 Ticket mentioned below.

Year Ticket 	Grants a random car from that specific model year.Obtained on the player's birthday, as registered on their PlayStation Network account, but only if they are of Main Account age (at least 18 years old); because of this, this ticket could only be obtained when the online services were available and the player is being signed in to the PlayStation Network on that day; furthermore the ticket the player gets is also matched to their registered birth year.The Main Account age requirement meant that the farthest year ticket that was given was 1996, however 1997-2010 tickets also exist in the game as unused items.In particular, while it is not possible to obtain the Ferrari F10 or any variant of the Red Bull X2010 from the 2010 ticket (nor the Ferrari F2007 from the 2007 ticket), it is possible to obtain the 2010 Joey Logano #20 GameStop TOYOTA CAMRY '10 (Fantasy) from the 2010 ticket; however the player will lose access to the car if the player exits the game, unless the player had previously owned the car legitimately from pre-ordering the game at GameStop (North America only).
In addition to the 1997-2010 year tickets, there are some tickets that were never used and thus could never be obtained normally:Gran Turismo 5/Game Items/Gift Car Coupons on The Cutting Room Floor
Item Name 	Description

==Gran Turismo Sport==
Tickets that allows a player to buy a car at no credit cost (different from GT5's and GT7's ticket system) are mentioned in the GT Sport's online manual,Buying Cars - GT Sport Online Manual: "In addition to making purchases, players can exchange Car Tickets for cars (1 ticket = 1 car)." but the only reported use of such tickets was in April 2018 when a Spanish player suddenly received 1000 tickets for the Jaguar XJ13 '66, in which the number does not decrease when used.A Mysterious Car Ticket System is Showing up in GT Sport - GTPlanet The feature was speculated to be related to then-possible addition of microtransactions to the game, which was added in July that year with update 1.23 in form of individual cars costing less than 2 million credits (later raised to 10 million in March 2019) being purchasable from the PlayStation Store.
As such, it is possible that "tickets" referred in the manual actually refers to the method to claim a car they purchased from the PlayStation Store (or received from a promotional code, as with the case of the McLaren P1 GTR '16 during the 2019 New York FIA Gran Turismo World Tour) for use in-game.
==Gran Turismo 7==
Tickets (officially referred as Roulette Tickets) can be obtained from completing GT Café collections, as well for reaching the daily workout mileage (instead of the car being awarded immediately like in Gran Turismo Sport) and starting from version 1.40, from completing Weekly Challenges in World Circuits and completing Master Licenses. The tickets are shown to have expiry date where the player must claim them before a specific date. When a ticket is used, five items ranging from credits, tuning parts, to a car (those purchasable from Brand Central only),GT7 Online Info: Lottery Cars are shown. These tickets now have a star rating on them; a higher star rating gives better possible prizes. Higher-level tickets also allows the player to earn Invitations, the right to purchase certain expensive cars from the Brand Central.
Tuning items received from tickets may also include parts not available from the tuning shop (applies only for cars purchasable from the Brand Central) and engines; these form the basis of the engine swapping mechanic, which is the only way to do so until version 1.34, where engine swaps can also be installed from GT Auto if the player has collector level of 50 (at a cost; installing engines obtain from tickets is free of charge). (The 1.34 update also made parts previously exclusive from tickets also available from the tuning shop under the Extreme tab, also requiring Collector Level of 50.) If an engine is applied, all tuning is reset (as with buying the car's default engine from the tune shop) and the car will now have the performance of the desired engine. Each engine can only be placed on a limited number of cars.
The outcome of the ticket is not determined when the prize drawing is shown, but rather when the ticket is obtained in advance.
There are also other form of tickets in the game:
* Credit Tickets: Adds credits that count towards the player's free credits (earned from racing). This type of tickets were originally intended for compensation-related purposes; for instance tickets worth Cr. 1,000,000 were given out in March 25, 2022 (with release of update 1.09) in response to unusually long maintenance period for the 1.07/1.08 update released the week prior (and the resulting outrage resulting from it and the included race payout changes); the credits can be claimed until April 25, 2022.Gran Turismo 7: An update from Polyphony Digital - gran-turismo.com Credit Tickets are also given out for players who participated in Gran Turismo World Series Bonus Campaign (a fantasy sports-style game where the player predicts the winner of a broadcasted GTWS event) with correct predictions, as well as from progressing through Weekly Challenges from the World Circuits mode.
* Engine Tickets: Introduced with version 1.17, grants the player a random engine only. They can be typically found from completing Extra Books or Weekly Challenges.
* Parts Tickets: Introduced with version 1.17, grants the player a random tuning part only. They can be typically found from completing Extra Books or Weekly Challenges.
* Car Tickets: There are two types of car tickets. The first grants the player a specific car, usually from competing in certain Sport Mode events or Gran Turismo World Series Viewer Campaigns.@RobbyHeck_ tweet showing a car ticket for the Porsche VGT Spyder from 2022 Porsche Esports Challenge USA The other, introduced with version 1.40 as part of Weekly Challenges, and classified as a six-star ticket much like the engine and parts tickets above, grants the player a random Brand Central car. One in particular was given out as a farewell to GT Sport between December 27, 2023 to January 2, 2024. This type of ticket is also used to deliver cars obtained from completing the My First Gran Turismo demo.
