All three tickets drop at once (rather than one at a time.) Even though there is only a chance for them to drop, that chance is quite high for basic enemies and even higher for World & Delve Bosses. That being said, you might want to turn on auto loot before the event to make sure you're grabbing everything.
The thing is, this was in the PTS at the end of last year. Did no one actually test this with the PTS update? We had a chance 4 months ago to complain about the RNG aspect of the tickets, but I was unable to find a single thread about it.

Does someone want to try and tell me that this isn't designed to encourage people to buy tickets?

I am not on PC, but a number of users in this thread are and had the opportunity to look at this on PTS.

@ZOS_SarahHecker
Pretty much anything that drops loot. Killing monsters, looting treasure chests, World Bosses. etc. will have a chance to drop the boxes.

Well if you bothered reading the replies then it's clear that some did. But as Murkmire was there at the same time as Midyear Mayhem it might have created some conflict with how tickets dropped. So if people didn't see tickets drop from bosses they simply assumed it was because they'd already gotten their "daily allotment" from MYM and not because ZOS decided to suddenly institute RNG.

But, that is something that could have been confirmed by doing a Murkmire thing first the next day to actually test that it was working properly. The whole point of the PTS.

In practise, a very few people complained of missing event tickets, but most players got their tickets every day - and trash mob kills seemed very likely to give tickets if you had not already received them (and were not maxed in tickets carried already). The Murkmire event will likely be the same. The complaints about this issue (event tickets being subject to RNG) seem overblown to me.

Kindly do NOT tie the tickets to rng, PLEASE
