Apaprently you can.. register for tickets by email too... which kinda defeats us Pre-Order people as being unique. Maybe not enough people pre-ordered? Oh well. Looks fun!

They are not free . Perhaps one will be given instructions on how to order them on line (I suspect it may point one back to New-fiction.com and ordering the comic book as part of the package. Or offer ways to purchase just a ticket.)
Edit
Dale has said he has a few free tickets available on a first come first serve basis. But it does look like we should work on how to solve this for the contest

Heh.. so focused on the contest were we, that we failed to notice teh REST off the Ashgrove Park website has updated as well. Not much there.. but the Old Tyme Midway section makes me very hungry
EDIT: OH!
If you click on the face on Ash Grove Park main page, you'll see another image that includes a history link thats not on the left side "ticket" list. It includes mention of a possible predecessor to Digitalis named.. Saga.
There's also a new attraction this year.. The Old Tyme Sideshow.

We should also be examing these "stories" for hidden messages (i.e. codes). Look at capital letters, repeated words, first words of sentences, etc. These are all means by which this PM has used to hide rabbitholes and secrets in the past.

Hi,
Since we don't have time to get you your Ash Grove Park ADMIT
ONE tickets by regular methods in time for this Saturday's event, here are your official ADMIT ONE ticket numbers.
Oh wait, did I register by mistake?
Quote:
Players may only qualify once for the Grand Finale and may not play in the Weekly Puzzle round on two consecutive weeks.
Maybe I should share this set of tickets so we have something to work on to use to figure out the solving method?

Nope!

The solving method turns out to be fairly trivial, thankfully. I am embarrassed to admit, however, that I am uncertain whether I should post a spoiler here. Due to my minimal (read: basically complete lack of) participation in CTW1, I am not yet entirely clear on whether this part of the ARG is competetive or collaborative. Thoughts?

the following set of spoilers relates to solving your ticket
A KLOO:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
7 letters on your ticket, 7 numbers on the little ticket
A BIGGER HINT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Can't be ROT since we have already been informed the one of the 6 little tickets is the key to solving our letter jumble - and yes, it is a word not another jumble
The answer:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Add or subtract - for instance {not a real ticket, made up example}
jumble - TGJUMXZ
ticket 1 #'s - 2299441
Count down 2 from T and you get R,
2 from G and you get E,
and so on...
Jumble Solution would be "Reality"
EVERYONE'S answers will be different. I have a though that it is a raffle type of event. Since we are expected to have figured out our own ticket before we can participate in the "raffle". i am assuming they will give us a jumble's solution, and the holder of said solution would then move on to try to figure out the next puzzle, or something like that.

Not in the text but I see that the picture on the right of the midway.html page is a JFIF Adobe Ducky (photoshop) file. The name 'skillgamessm.jpg' looks a bit suspicious too.
