Madden 20 Golden Ticket Program Details

Hey Madden Ultimate Team Community,

We wanted to take a moment to talk about how the Golden Ticket program will work this year in Madden 20 so that you can better prepare and participate next week.

Players will be able to participate in the Madden 20 Golden Ticket Program by playing Limited Time Ultimate Challenges that will be available for 1 hour. The dates and times the Ultimate Challenges will be available are below:

  • Tuesday, March 10th @ 9PM ET
  • Friday, March 13th @ 10PM ET

Each day we will be giving out a total of 5 Golden Ticket collectibles on Xbox One and 5 on PS4 for a total of 20 Golden Tickets. Similar to the Nike X Madden Air Max 90's Ultimate Challenges, the Golden Ticket program will not be available on PC due to logistical reasons.

The format for the Golden Ticket Ultimate Challenges will be a full game with 3 minute quarters. After completion of the Ultimate Challenge, you will receive a reward that will either be a coin quicksell or the Golden Ticket collectible.

Our teams will be monitoring who received the Golden Ticket collectibles. Our goal is to reach out to all players that received Golden Ticket collectibles by Monday, March 16th through their Madden Rewards e-mail address to get information on about the Golden Ticket they would like to create.

We will outline in the form what rules apply in regards to Golden Tickets, but we wanted to share some early information about these rules.

  • Golden Ticket players must be built off a base player item that has already been released in Madden Ultimate Team this year.
  • Golden Ticket players cannot be players that have retired from the NFL during the 2019 season (In other words, Legends are good; however, players who retired this year are not).
  • Golden Ticket players cannot use Icons from the Superstar KO mode.
  • Golden Ticket players will get a physical chemistry slot.
  • Golden Ticket players will get a team chemistry slot. Team chemistry will operate the same way it does for the Veterans program in that the team chemistries available will only be those that the player played for in the NFL in a regular season game.
  • Golden Ticket players will be stand alone player items and will not be eligible to go into Power Ups
  • Winners have 10 days from being contacted to finish designing their Golden Ticket player. If a winner is unable to finish designing their Golden Ticket player in this time period, they will forfeit this opportunity
  • Winners get to choose which Tier 3 Buckets they want available on their Golden Ticket player. The only restriction is it must be from an archetype from that position. For Example: Winner could choose for Michael Vick to have a Field General, Strong Arm, Improviser and Scrambler QB ability bucket
  • Golden Ticket Players will receive a 4th ability slot.
  • Golden Ticket Players still need to hit the thresholds for abilities. For Example: Winner could choose Tom Brady but it will be difficult for Brady to achieve the speed requirement for Escape Artist.
  • Physical ratings will be handled by the MUT Team but winners will be able to choose up to 3 skill ratings they want to see boosted.
  • Golden Ticket Players will not be a Limited Time (LTD) item and will be in packs for the remainder of the year with an increased opportunity to pull them from packs the first 48 hours after their initial release in game
  • The Madden Ultimate Team reserves the right to refuse any Golden Player ticket selection.

Please note that Golden Ticket player creation will be based on a first come, first serve basis for Golden Ticket winners. This means that whoever contacts us first is guaranteed to get their choice of player, but this may not hold true the further along we go in the process. There will be no duplicate Golden Ticket players on the same side of the ball.

Depending on how quickly we receive Golden Ticket player information after contacting winners, we are looking to release 2 Golden Ticket players every Thursday. Make sure to follow @EASPORTS_MUT for details on when the first release of Golden Ticket players will happen.

We look forward to bringing back Golden Tickets this year to Madden Ultimate Team! We hope you do as well.

- The Madden Ultimate Team
