    Well, if it's anything like the Eon Ticket, you can swap records with someone who has the Navel Rock ticket, and both carts will gain the ticket (it worked for me). Otherwise, I'm fresh out of ideas apart from special promo events.
     
    Wouldn't they give the ticket through the wire-less connection? Especially since some places, like Europe, don't have the E-readers. Either through a Nintendo event or maybe through your local video game store?
     
    Well, it definitely won't be e-readers for Europe, but I'm sure the idea of the "Wonder Spot" on SPP will be changed. It sounds too Japanese to work in Europe... seeing as NoE being their stupid selves seem to disregard anything remotely Japanese from entering Europe's gaming market in the first place. It will be some sort of event though... it just depends on... something I suppose. ^_^
     
    Like I said, it'll possibly be a one-day event like they did with the Eon Ticket (at least that's how I got mine). It looks like this Wonder Spot is giving out both tickets at once, so it seems like a nice deal if you can get to one. Bleh, why don't they build a Pokemon Centre here in England, even if it's just down in London?
     
    If they did build a Pokemon Centre, it'd be one for the whole of Europe - so they'd pick a central location such as Paris or Berlin. It seems unfair... but it's kinda fair for the rest of Europe. One in England would make other Europeans a bit miffed probably...
     
    i think its mean of japan to do that. we never get things like that in australia.
     
    Well if it is given out at a Nintendo Event like the Serebii link above says, that stinks. If it is at a Pokemon Center, which is only in New York (which sucks), then a lot of people won't be able to get it. If it is given out at a "Nintendo Event" that sucks too. I don't see them going to all 50 States just to give out the tickets. That is why I was hoping one of the video game store chains would be doing it.
     
    At least when they gave the Eon Ticket out they did it all over the country. They went in one town or city each day (there was about 40 or 50 on the list) so if you knew when it was, you'd be pretty close by to get to it. I can imagine with the US being so large, it's a little different.
     
    There is a chance that certain stores around the US, such as Electronics Boutique, will have WonderSpots. Speaking with some of the local employees at EB, and the manager, I came to find out that Nintendo is in fact thinking about putting WonderSpots in malls, and other well known stores, such as EB, BlockBuster Video, etc. So there's a chance that we'll get those, however we all know Nintendo and their loyalty to what they say. =/
     
    I think they would do better to just have a promotion like they did with the berry fix/free shiny zigzagoon (which I never got...everyone at my EB is so incompetent =/ )...just something like a gamecube disc with the GC-GBA link cable that can download the Mystic and Aurora tickets to whoever goes there...I think that WonderSpots would be too expensive to maintain and wouldn't have enough uses...promo gamecube discs sent to EB/Gamespot/etc are the way to go, IMO.
     
    But the thing is, I'm not too confident that it can carry over to America...they're a bit more intense about their electronics over there than we are. I just mean to say that a special GC to GBA offer would be easier to maintain than a WonderSpot, and could also be distributed more widely. Japan's roughly the size of Montana, so they don't need to worry about distribution there. We do, unfortunately.
