So, at least at some point I would guess TD knows exactly which packs the Golden Tickets are in.
If this is the case then receiving a GT is not really random. Instead it is a conscience choice by the TD staff on whether to include a GT infused pack into someone's order.
The following theory is only estimate as number figure go into and not exact number, but approximation of it.
It is quite simple than it really is because Jeff is the only one that know how much tokens it will take to be sold out every years. By mathematic is divide it into 40 from the total amount from being sold out per year. It is true that it is random when place and set according for the GT because you won't the set number is or were and that I know that Jeff is pretty fair about it. That is what most of the buy is huge in the begin is what so much were pass out by this times. As you may notice that before all 40 tickets is giving out is approximately about 8k order is left from being actively left from total to be sold out.
For example:
11K x 40 = 440K to 500K
$1,000.00 = 120 per order of the amount 10 pack tokens
500K order = 60,000 total order of 10 pack tokens
60,000 total order = 600,000 tokens and that does not included UR, Relic, Legendary, completion tokens, monster trophies and 1st Tooth of Cavadar addition cost not included.
500 = 1st Tooth of Cavader
500K x 4 = 2,000 UR per years to know the popularize of the UR is made certain more for it, for the next year. The amount of UR is about 600 extra with addition of 37% exalting, 38% enhancer, 20% relic and 5%legendary to unknown amount.
While recycling the Trade Item Tokens to be efficient cost benefit.
Addition recycling the rare and uncommon into the treasure box by large ratio of 85% then x amount of ratio Monster trophies, completion tokens of 14%, to evening smaller ratio for UR, GP, Exalting, Enhancer as 1%

$500,000.00 allot spending
Tokens is Made in China
Dealing with two different currently between U.S. and China
5 to 1 from cheap labor and manufacture cost.
$150,000.00 for making the tokens and import cost.
$50,000.00 for distributor costs and undelivered or error tokens makeup cost.
$150,000.00-200,000.00 for rental space as 20-30% down payment for WYC and Gen Con, hotel, paying the volunteers, animatronic, maintain and upkeep of stuff and props, maintain the TD forum computer server,
$100,000.00 for True Dungeon's profit. After taxes is really about $60,000.00 pure profit.
8,000 tickets sale at $52.00 per ticket is approximate 8,000 x 52 = $416,000.00
70-80% final down payment on the rental space
$40,000-65,000 rental space as total for Gen Con.
contract agreement w/ Gen Con is approximate 40-60% or 30-70%, where TD take the lower end of the agreement
Whereby it's should be about $124,800-166,400 from the 30-40% intake of tickets sale.
$32,000.00-52,000.00 from 80%
$28,000.00-32,500.00 from 70%
$124,800.00-166,400 subtract from about $30,000.00 for the final down payment.
$94,800.00-136,400 as the final total
After taxes is really $56,880.00-81,840.00
The average profit from this $72,000.00 and from the $60,000.00 to be added as well.
$130,000.00 is average profit for True Dungeon for so much paper and accounting upkeep and also spread through the year, might be headache to most dealing with this fashion of work ethical.
This account of theory relate to the past peak popularity during the past 3 years and even due to the price of the ticket of the past were $48.00.
This is just a hypothesis through data collect and financial success in the one of many industries on my part of research and cross referring.
To keep this success going, he has to maintain and upkeep of the True Dungeon resource to keep potential buyers/consumers interested with relationship as true customer service is the best to attract more and more positive words of mouth. Which is the old fashion ways and the best ways to advertisement between gamer to gamer as community as a whole.
It has been problematic when address the issue of the volunteer schedule and the lack of upkeep in the TD forum that has not been address as of yet. Even those there has family tragically, but yet was able to promote TD ticket sold out & newsletter via facebook and personal e-mail, then to address 3 Golden Tickets is left.
If this manner still continue this ways of lacking work ethical, then it is sure to failed eventually because it doesn't take a genius to figure this out this. Oh wait, it does and by the times it's happen I won't tell you so.
-Eversuede-
P.S. Data Collection by the government look a lot like this method and now is pass to the telephone companies carrier is allow to do as well because the Patriot Act discontinue by the government and pass on to the telephone companies carrier to do it for them to get political benefit.
Even those American are willing to paid 60% more for something that is Made In America. What it is so because of it insecure of one of many of oversight and quality standard inspection that go into it as high level of quality is what America were once known for it. Today a different story as such.
But the process is very costly as individual as starting out. Also is what 85% failed the first two years of introduce into the market as lack of business wise go. But it is a different story when you owned the U.S. patient and the title to the brand name that is associate with. Heath forth franchise is born where you could rent and receive potential of profit of the individual store as royalty check come in. For Example: one owner for one subway store profit is about $50,000.00, while the title owner of this franchise business earn $100 million dollars due to the amount of how many store in the franchise are there. Most of the liability cost fall upon the individual owner and must buy it through supplier as franchise owner route through his connection supply companies only to achieve the same quality for the project success that it became with by business and financial analysis from the economic market.
McDonald fast-food restaurant depend on the location, location, location right amount of employee and the supply and food. For one McDonald restaurant could bring in about at least $2.1 million dollars, but cost for maintain and upkeep and quarterly taxes and property taxes and business taxes and paid the royalty membership to franchise owner and employee. I wouldn't be surprise if he walk away with at least $200,000.00 and that if it is the right condition.
The companies that loophole through the tradition mean and very corrupt ways of do it is these companies:
Umber - taxi service through computer program app
Airbub - home owner renting extra room or whole house or apartment
Bit-coin - secondary currency market
Side note: Umber is a 18 billion dollars within three years of business because the title brand and once again the most liability fall on the drivers and his/her cars. First two years was as corrupt as it come when not paying the employee driver their due, no crime background were done, even if Umber official had said it so, but lying about it. Keeping the majority of the share profit, while the driver get the small potential profit.
The hardest part is really maintain from the success past two years while all the while the change in the economic of the U.S. because if you are not well inform, then the nonlinear equations won't mean much as to said that "Always account for variable change"
And that not enough for you then how about little something from ancient philosopher Confucius 551-479 B.C. as the saying go:
"Superior man know what is right, an inferior man know what to sell."
This is what I don't want True Dungeon to fail due to lack from learning from other history business model, while focus on more of the success and increase prices due it successful run through out the years it has.
So please heed the tale from this broken hearted bard is tell you and many like you that forgot that was once were
TRUE.
