You start off with 4 regeneratable tickets. The game treats these tickets as currency and allows you to win more by watching videos etc, which are then added to your total amount of tickets. If you have more than 4 tickets, they stop regenerating.

You need 1 ticket to enter every ranked multiplayer game, which allows you to increase/decrease rank depending on how well you perform. At the end of each season, you receive awards.

If you have run out of tickets and can't be bothered waiting for the tickets to regenerate/are not rich enough to buy new tickets, then you can switch from the ranked games to free games. You can still race, but you won't consume any tickets and your rank won't change (you are still in the season and can still earn prizes from your last rank). You will still be matched against actual players when your rank is free.
