On the other hand, I think the implication seems to be that it gives tickets, since it mentions players who aren't sure if they're ready to tackle dungeons yet, which suggests they can still participate in the event that way, and receiving your daily tickets is an important part of the event.
The thing to do is complete Bolgrul's daily delve quest first, and see if the delve boss drops tickets in addition to the reward box. Then, if no tickets drop that way, do a dungeon to get them.
If you’re not sure that you’re ready to tackle dungeons (or perhaps don’t have the time), you can also earn one Undaunted Reward Box a day by completing Bolgrul’s daily Undaunted delve quest. You can find Bolgrul within any Undaunted Enclave.

In the last undaunted event Bogroll DID NOT give event tickets. I assume this will be the same. His quests do not involve dungeons and you get the tickets from the dungeon bosses not the pledges.
Do a random, do one solo, it doesn't matter, just get to the last boss of a dungeon and kill it and get your tickets

If it works the same way as the previous Undaunted event, you don't really need to queue to get daily drops, just running through Fungal Grotto on normal does the job. IIrc you only need to kill 2 bosses to clear it - goblin chief (killing him opens the door) and dreugh king so you can just run past everything else.

Yes, the busting through in FG1 just to get the last boss and avoid everything else race. Ha ha. Well, the purpose of the Undaunted Event is for doing the dungeons and not just for good ole Bolgrul's daily. Folks do other dungeons beside FG1 during the event, and as I recall just queuing straight into a dungeon with your group had issues as well as random queuing during last year's event. Weren't there 2 event sessions last year due to the first iteration didn't work at all?

If you plan to do a dungeon with one or more other players-- even if they're friends or fellow guild members-- you'll want to make sure that everyone knows ahead of time whether or not skipping ahead is part of the plan, and if the plan is to play all the way through without skipping then the group leader needs to immediately boot any players who run ahead of the group.

Ahhh... that would be ideal when you pick your group with guildmates; however, not everyone plays by the rule. Also, not everyone plays with guildmates. Random queuing is still common, and you will get someone or two who are already busting through even as you and the others just enter in. I mean, I don't mind it; although I'm not the one to lead it. However, there are newer first time player to the dungeon that would probably like to complete all bosses in there. I'll go either way. Bust through or kill all things in there; doesn't matter to me.

However it give boxes, is states one, I assume this is one on each character unlike tickets and the glorious box who is one on account. If on character running the delve quest on alts can be an fast way to farm boxes although if in an farming group fungal 1 is faster mostly as you don't have to relog and then wait for boss to spawn.In the last undaunted event Bogroll DID NOT give event tickets.

No. Or, more accurately, almost certainly not.
They weren't last year, and the wording doesn't suggest they will this year, either. The wording also makes it sound like the chest you get from Bolgrul is not the one that would be certain to have an opal motif in it, either. I think those only come from killing the final boss in an instanced dungeon (like Fungal Grotto or Banished Cells, etc) for the first time in a day.

and so I ask again... why then state that its for those who feel they are not ready to tackled the dungeons, or may not have the time for one? if bogrul's daily does not award most of the event rewards, then in what world does it ever save time?
When you defeat a dungeon’s final boss during this event, in addition to its regular rewards it also drops an Undaunted Reward Box. These celebrated containers can hold all kinds of useful and valuable loot, including Undaunted Keys, Undaunted Plunder (to sell for gold), motif pages, repair kits, transmute crystals, and more. If you’re not sure that you’re ready to tackle dungeons (or perhaps don’t have the time), you can also earn one Undaunted Reward Box a day by completing Bolgrul’s daily Undaunted delve quest. You can find Bolgrul within any Undaunted Enclave.
During the event period, the first time you complete a dungeon each day, you’ll receive a fancier, Glorious Undaunted Reward Box. This daily drop will include the same rewards as its less-famous cousin, but it’s also guaranteed to contain an Opal Weapon Style page for the following boss styles:
[etc etc until the bit at the end]
The first time you slay a final boss in a dungeon each day, you earn three Event Tickets (again don’t forget to loot your fallen foe).

Because you aren't looking at the whole thing.When you defeat a dungeon’s final boss during this event, in addition to its regular rewards it also drops an Undaunted Reward Box. These celebrated containers can hold all kinds of useful and valuable loot, including Undaunted Keys, Undaunted Plunder (to sell for gold), motif pages, repair kits, transmute crystals, and more.

The first time you slay a final boss in a dungeon each day, you earn three Event Tickets (again don’t forget to loot your fallen foe).
If you kill the boss in a group dungeon (not public, the group ones), then you get a normal box in its loot. You can also get a normal box the first time you do a Bolgrul quest. However, the first group dungeon final boss you kill in a day will drop the deluxe fancy box and three tickets in its loot.
So at the start of a new day, kill the boss in a dungeon: 3 tix + fancy box. The next boss drops a normal box. As do all of the bosses that follow, until the next day rolls around. But you can also do a delve and get another normal box. The only difference with the box types is that the fancy box will have an opal style page in it, the normal boxes probably won't. But maybe they could. It's not guaranteed.
Solo'ing some of the early 1 dungeons (Banished Cells 1, Fungal Grotto 1, City of Ash 1, etc) isn't that hard. If you can do Maelstrom normal, you can solo an early group dungeon.

Bogrul doesn't send you into a dungeon, so no, you are not going to get tickets by doing his quest. If you did, all you'd have to do is kill a random delve boss to get tickets.

I mean, there's not much fun in cheesing nFG1, but if someone just wants tickets and doesn't want to deal with other people or group finder, it is an option. It is very likely that it's gonna be bugged/overloaded again, after all.
