We randomly inserted 100 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2024 token collection. If you found one of these special tokens inside one of your 10-packs, congratulations! The token is your ticket to a special run of an event at an upcoming convention in 2024. More details later. At the end of these adventures, you'll get an extra bit of fun as well as some super-sweet swag.
How to Sign Up: Securing your place on a GT run is a two-stage process that needs to be done in this order:
- Email the photo of your GT token to reserve the slot & class of your choice.
Check this forum thread to ensure we recorded your slot & class request accurately. - After your accurate reservation appears on that post, browse to the Special Redemption section on the Token Exchange Program page and send your GT token in for verification.
Completing the Goden Ticket reservation process gives you the ability to enter your Golden Ticket token into our system and then send the token back to us. This gives us your shipping address for the awesome swag that you'll receive after the event.
Please Note:
- You cannot buy a Golden Ticket from us in this manner. This system is for registering a Golden Ticket that happened to be randomly inserted into your token order or given to you via a third party.
- When you register your Golden Ticket token and send it in, you will not get it back.
- If you and one or more other people are going on the Golden Ticket run together, each person needs to register their Golden Ticket token separately. I.e., do not register more than one Golden Ticket per order.
The TD Forum is used to place folks into groups, so be sure to visit this Forum thread to claim your spot on a specific run.
GT runs at Gen Con 2024 are on Wednesday, July 31st (subject to change). Start times will be announced later, but will most likely be in the evening around 7 pm. See the GT signup thread for details.
- Curse of Crimson Isle
- Temple of the Dune Viper
- Tomb of Terror Redux (sealed pack*)
- The Golden Obelisk (a sealed-pack* Con-Quest mini-adventure)
*Just like their standard (i.e., not GT) versions, Golden Ticket runs for Tomb of Terror Redux and The Golden Obelisk are sealed pack. But even though those two are sealed pack, participants still get the standard GT swag bag before their adventure and 25 treasure at the end of their run. However, the swag bag is not part of the sealed pack. Tokens or other items received in the swag bag may not be used on a sealed pack run.
GT runs at Gamehole Con 2024 are on Thursday, October 17th (subject to change). Start times will be announced later, but will most likely be in the late morning/early afternoon. See the GT signup thread for details.
- Temple of the Dune Viper
Treasure Enhancers on 2024 Golden Ticket Runs
For Golden Ticket runs at both Gen Con 2024 and Gamehole Con 2024:
- No Treasure Enhancers may be equipped.
- All players receive 25 Treasure at the end of their run.
- Your player level does not affect the amount of Treasure you earn.
- You may show off whatever Level Reward(s) you have earned, but none of them affect the amount of Treasure you get.
- If you are in possession of a Badge of Nobility--and have earned the right to use it--you may use it to bump up your AC, but it won't affect the amount of Treasure you receive.

Golden Ticket Procedure for the 2025 Token Year
We are improving the procedure for how Golden Ticket winners claim their event slot. This new process is somewhat different depending on whether your Golden Ticket came from an $8k order or was randomly found in an order of less than $8k.
From Patron (aka “$8k”) Orders
Since a Golden Ticket is now guaranteed in each $8k order (while supplies last), physical Golden Ticket tokens will not be included with any $8k shipment. Instead, once you place your order online, within one or two standard business days you'll receive an email with a link to a Google Form. In that form you'll submit your contact information as well as the convention at which you want to go on your Golden Ticket run. After the form is submitted, you’ll be emailed a unique code that allows you to claim one Golden Ticket event slot when that code is entered into your account at td.events. Once the code is used on td.events, the ticket to the event belongs to the person who redeemed it, and you cannot transfer it to another account. If your situation changes and you're no longer going on the run, email Lori (using her at true dungeon • com address) explaining the situation and she'll be able to transfer the ticket to the person of your choosing.
If you have more than one Golden Ticket email, you--or the person to whom you forward the email--need to fill out the form one time for every email when you’re ready to claim it. If you redeem a GT for one convention and you want to redeem a Golden Ticket for a different convention (i.e., not a previous convention you already claimed), you can do so. However, the td.events ticketing system only allows one Golden Ticket per convention per account. If you want to claim a Golden Ticket for the same convention you had previously claimed, it must be claimed on a different td.events account. E.g., if you have two GT emails and want to go on a GT run at both Gen Con and Gamehole Con, you'll fill out the Google Form twice (using a different emailed link each time), indicating a different convention each time. You’ll be emailed two different codes to redeem at td.events and be able to claim two different GT admissions. But if you have two GT emails and you and a friend want to go on one GT run together, you and your friend each need to fill out the form once using the link in the email you forwarded to them. (Don't send your friend the link you used to fill out the form.) Each person needs to enter their unique code into their account at td.events to claim tickets for the same convention.
Golden Ticket slots become available to be claimed starting at noon CDT on Friday, October 4th, 2024. Anyone who placed a pre-order by noon CDT on Thursday October 3rd should receive the email with the link to their Google Form by 4:00 pm CDT that day. We ONLY email the unique codes for td.events after the Google Form has been completed, so please complete that as soon as possible.
From Non-$8k Orders
The traditional Golden Ticket tokens used in years past will be randomly distributed into these orders. Similar to what we've done for the last few years, finders of a Golden Ticket token must go to the "Special Redemption" section of the Token Exchange Program page and add a Golden Ticket claim to their order. However, you do not need to email a photo of your GT token. The physical Golden Ticket token is then sent to TDHQ. After the GT token is received and verified, we change the order status to “Golden Ticket Received”. Within two business days, you'll be emailed a link to the Google Form. After that form is completed, you'll receive a unique code to redeem at td.events to select your Golden Ticket event and time. The sooner you complete the Google Form, the sooner we can email your unique code.

2025 Golden Ticket Redemption FAQ
Q: If I have three Golden Tickets and I want to go on one GT run at each convention (Origins, Gen Con, and Gamehole Con), how do I do that?
A: It depends on how each Golden Ticket was acquired:
- Via an $8k: You will receive three emails, each with a unique link to the Google Form. Using each link once, complete the form three times, each time indicating a different convention.
- Not Via an $8k: Go to the “Special Redemption” section of the Token Exchange Program page and redeem three GTs. Ship the three GT tokens to TDHQ along with the required signed paperwork. After we receive and verify the tokens, we’ll email you three separate Google Form links. Using each link once, complete the form three times, each time indicating a different convention.
Q: Can I sell my Golden Ticket? If so, how does the new owner register?
A: Yes, you may sell, give, bequeath, barter, or bestow it to whomever you like. As long as you don’t fill out the Google Form, you can forward the email with the Google Form link to the person you want to go on the run. Once they fill out the form, they get the code emailed directly to them and can register themself.
Q: What happens if I registered to go on a run, but at the last minute I'm not able to attend? Can I still designate someone to go in my stead?
A: Email Lori with the details, including the name, phone number, and email address of the person you want to go on the run.
