Tickets?

[CoCCEO]

I hear a lot of people in the trades want tickets and trade tickets all the time and the 1000s ticket and all the bday tickets and stuff like that, I'm a little new to this forum and would like some answers on how you get so many bday tickets or the Lvl tickets when your birthday only comes once a year lol and you only get the Lvl ones i think from experience from completing a series

To get the birthday tickets I think you manipulate the clock on the ps3 for whatever year you want the ticket for. I haven't tried it yet so not sure. As for the level tickets, you'll get those as you play the game more and gold all of the a and b spec stuff.

 

[CoCCEO]

Even if you already golded all the a spec races doing it over gives you another ticket?

 

[DA__dogg]

No, you only get those tickets once. The only ticket you get multiple times I think is the 1000 ticket. You get that for every 100 races at a single track or 2000 km at a single track I think, not sure.

Not quite.
You create a sub account on your PS3, and when you sign up for the PSN it asks you for your birthday, here you enter the current day of the year it is, and whatever year ticket you are trying to win.
IE, you want the P4 Ferrari, price tag 20 mil credits... that car is a '67, so you'd enter April 4th, 1967 as your birthday. When you open GT5 on that account the ticket will pop up in your truck. Now when you get the ticket, you save your backup , send to main account and restore to keep the ticket. (known as 'duping')
When you receive on your main account, you then save and grind until you get the car you were after.

Save your backup? Sorry I font mean to be stupid but iv tried that trick and didn't know how to send the ticket without opening it first

Be sure to read our AUP.. that sentence is written in english by a fellow American, and I can barely even understand it.

On the XMB, under games scroll to game utility data. Click on GT5 and press triangle, then select 'copy' and then whatever storage device you have (thumbdrive, external hard drive, ect.)

Begin GT5. From the 'my home' screen, go to the 'items' category on the lower left quadrant of the screen, from there you will see 'car tickets' and from there you can send to another account or friend.

Once sent, exit GT5 and go back to the XMB saved game utility screen again.
Scroll to your external device, press 'x' and you will see the GT5 file pop up. Press triangle, and then hit 'copy'.

Repeat whenever you want to send something without actually losing it. This works for tickets, cars, paints.. well everything.

You back up your save.
Then start your game
Go into "Items"
you will see horns, paints, and tickets.
Seect the ticket you want to send out, press triagle, a menu should appear, select "send to friend"
Select your second account and hit X the ticket will be sent without opening up.

Hope this helps!

Yes it all helps a lot. So you guys are saying I can created a second account and use it to get a bday and keep sending that ticket to my main over and over if I do it with the USB flash drive and keep copying the game?
