TOPIC: Dispel Confusion for Early Access to Tickets

Sorry for the confusion that may have been caused during my interview on Trent's show. I think the term "patrons" was used, and I should have said "4-year patrons" to be more clear. Those 4-year patrons who can make a MoE are the folks who can make a Mark of Enlightenment -- and thus gain early access to tickets on Jan. 10th, 2026.

As per the patron page: truedungeon.com/patron

IMPORTANT NOTE: 2026 Patrons gain lots of cool perks in 2026, but they will not gain early access to tickets at Ring Con. Only collectors who have crafted a Mark of Enlightenment prior to January 10th, 2026 (when tickets go on sale for Ring Con events for MoE transmuters) can have first dibs on event tickets. Everyone else can buy tickets on January 11th, 2026.

I wish this had been clearer at the time , but the new rule does make sense.

I'm now really really glad that each human can only claim one ticket for Grind until everyone has had a shot at them. That's still true, right?

David,

That is correct. Right now we have it set so that every ticketed "adventure" at Ring Con has a limit of one ticket per account. This was the best solution we could come up with.

Hi Lori,

Just to clarify, if I'm coordinating a group of 10 to attend, and I have redeemed 10 Rings, can I only buy one ticket per event or can I buy one for each of our 10 people? Will all 10 people have to set up accounts and buy a ticket (which in my case there is pretty much zero chance that will happen). I'm hoping I can do it all myself. Maybe if we provide the names for the ticket that will assure that nobody is doing more than one run?

Thanks!
Mike

Would recommend the following changes to the Ring Con page ( truedungeon.com/ring-con ):

January 10, 2026

Ticket sales open for Ring Con events to Mark of Enlightenment Patrons:
The Sacred Circle (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE).
Fang and Fury (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE, no ticket limit)
True Grind: The Cracks of Doom (Requires transmuted RoSC CODE)
The Sacred Path (Patron-only; requires both transmuted RoSC and MoE CODES)

January 11, 2026
General ticket sales open for all Ring Con events
Requires transmuted RoSC CODE .

General comment on this FAQ:

I always do all the coordination and tokens for my entire group. Will I be able to transmute all 10 tokens for our group, and use those codes for those 10 Rings to buy a complete run for my group? Or will each person in my group have to create an account and redeem a Ring code? I hope I'm able to do it all myself, maybe that would work if I provide the names of all 10 members in my group?

Every person that wants to buy an event ticket for Ring Con must make an account at td.events in order to utilize a code to buy a ticket.We need their real name so we can check ID at the start of the event.We are sorry for the inconvenience, but that is the limitation of our software.

The question doesn't read as fully "answered" to me. If I'm crafting 2 Rings (me + Catherine), can I send both in and I would receive 2 codes and just need to make sure she has her own td.events account and then provide her a code? I'm guessing that is true (that I'd just receive 2 codes similar to a GT and Patron email from an 8K)

Thanks!

"Every person that wants to buy an event ticket for Ring Con must make an account at td.events in order to utilize a code to buy a ticket.We need their real name so we can check ID at the start of the event.We are sorry for the inconvenience, but that is the limitation of our software."

It kind of sounds like I could just make 10 accounts myself, using their actual names for the accounts I create for them, and input the codes and pay for the tickets myself. That would still allow TD to check ID at the start of the event.

I'm sorry that this is so confusing. I wish we had a perfect system, but alas....we are working within what we can do - while trying to make sure as many people have a chance at a ticket as possible.

In order to attend Ring Con, you MUST have a Ring of the Sacred Circle.

There is ONE event at Ring Con, "The Sacred Path" that is ONLY playable by people with a Mark of Enlightenment.

Similar to "Patron" and "AG" codes in td.events, we will be using two codes for Ring Con in td.events, named "Mark of Enlightenment" and "Ring of the Sacred Circle" (MoE and RotSC).

If you have a MoE code, you will enter that code into your account at td.events. Beginning on 1/10/26, you will be able to purchase ONE TICKET to events at Ring Con.

If you have a RotSC code, you will enter that code into your account at td.events. Beginning on 1/11/26, you will be able to purchase ONE TICKET to events at Ring Con.

If you craft multiple Rings, you will receive multiple RotSC codes. DO NOT enter multiple codes into the same account at td.events, as that WILL NOT help you! Here's the example:

Jane crafts 8 rings. She receives 8 different emails and each has a RotSC code. Jane loves to play TD with her 10 friends, but only 6 in their group are attending Ring Con. Jane enters ONE RotSC into her account at td.events. She then forwards 4 of the emails to her friends that are going to Ring Con. They enter their code into their accounts at td.events. Bill, one of Jane's 5 friends, does not use a computer at all. Obviously Jane cannot forward an email to Bill, so they talk and Jane agrees to create an account for Bill at td.events and enter the code for him. The entire group of 6 agrees on a day and time they'd like to play. On 1/11/26, Jane and her friends log into td.events to purchase their tickets. Jane logs into her account and buys her ticket and then switches to Bill's account and gets his ticket.

Jane CANNOT have all the tickets in her account, as the system limits to ONE ticket per account.

Why did we do this? We want everyone who has made the effort to craft a Ring of the Sacred Circle have the opportunity to participate in Ring Con. If we have no limits on tickets, one person could go in and buy out 4 complete slots, making it very difficult for everyone that crafts a RotSC the opportunity to play.

Is there a better way to do this? Probably, but given the limitations of our current ticketing system, this is the best system we can see. Is it perfect? NO.

Please understand that our main goal here is to make sure that everyone who crafts a RoTSC is able to attend Ring Con and play the adventure. We HOPE that everyone will be patient, kind to their fellow players, and understanding when things don't go perfectly.

If we get to a point where there are tickets available, we will open it up and allow people with multiple rings to play more than once.

Please remember that there is NO GHOSTING allowed at Ring Con. We will be making sure each ticket is used by an actual person and that they have not played before.

Pre-arranging groups has worked well for Patron runs through td.events, so Dave has been gracious enough to organize a Google Sheet to track Ring Con runs. I know not everyone checks the forums, so many will miss this message, but please remind people on other platforms that pre-arranging groups and following that guideline will help keep the process smooth.

Lori,
What should people do if they have kids they want to bring?

It sounds like you would create separate accounts for your kids, and redeem your codes and buy their tickets through those accounts.

If you will craft a RotSC for them, when you get the email with that RotSC code, please add that code to their account at td.events (or create one if they don't have one) and then you will be able to purchase a ticket for each event (other than The Sacred Path, which requires a MoE code) at Ring Con.

Lori,

Thank you for explaining the ticketing process. It seems very clear to our adventurers. Excellent job and nice detail.

Agreed, just the information my simple mind needed! Thank you for the clarification! Looking forward to Ring Con!
