This is the relevant passage from this news article https://elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/54933:

The Witches Festival begins on Thursday, October 18 at 10:00AM EDT and will end on Thursday, November 1 at 10:00AM EDT. Have fun!

As for the free mount, you need four (different?) feathers, so there's no way to get the mount at the moment.

The easiest way to get event ticket depends on your ability to do enough damage in a short time or your ability to take on stronger mobs:

• If you're capable of dishing out damage fast you can get an event ticket in a really short time at the dolmens
• If you're able to take out stronger mobs it's fast enough to pick a delve you know and go straight for the boss
• If you're not sure of either you can pick a world boss and ask for help in zone chat, these days there's plenty of people (myself included) that show up in a couple of minutes or so
• If you're lucky (and know the places where those show up) you can get one of those portal things where two waves of mob appears in overland

Nope. Four different feathers, one each from four different events. Put them together and you get the mount. After that you collect four berries, the mechanics of which I'm not so clear on, which will allow you to change that mount into one of four new ones.

Stupid question but where does the event tickets end up? has not gotten any I know of.

Look in your inventory under the 'currency' tab. The event tickets should be where writ vouchers, alliance points, and tel var show.

Yeah you can't just stock up on event tickets. I think the maximum of 12 is because the Undaunted event will award 3 tickets at a time, so if it was capped at 10 you'd lose 2 for every 4 dungeons you did.

At the moment there's only 1 feather available, but another one will be added during the Clockwork City event, then a 3rd with the Undaunted event and a 4th at the New Life Festival. Previous feathers will still be available too, so if you miss one you can get it later, if you can get enough event tickets.

IMO if you have time it's a good idea to keep getting tickets after you've got 10 and bought the first feather so you get a head start for future events/feathers, just in case you miss days later. I already know I'm going to miss part of the New Life festival and I'm not sure about the others so I've been getting 1 ticket a day while I can, even after getting the feather. I suspect I'm still going to be behind and will miss getting the New Life feather during the event, but at least it will give me less to catch up on later.

Once you've got one of each (they are different colours) you can use them to summon a brown nascent indrik. Later there will be berries available (also for event tickets) which can be used to change it into one of the different coloured indriks. We don't know for sure but people are hoping and expecting that event tickets will continue to be available from events long enough that you could eventually end up with all 5 indriks. It's also possible, but complete speculation at this point, that other rewards will be available for event tickets in future.

You can only get 1 event ticket per day per account, one feather per event, but keep ticking away at it. I have 3 tickets toward my next feather.
