Re: BF4 server increased tickets
When doing your settings for your server.
Change Server Settings from Offical to Ranked.
Then change your preset's to your desire then save them. There should be a preset for Normal - Hardcore - Infantry
Select and customize and also your ticket count then save it and restart the server. This should fix your issue, if you require any further assistance please come back and ask we are here to help.
