Without a ticket\, you can still win any non-physical prizes and Beans.\nIf you want to play and rece ive prizes but paying for a ticket would prevent you\, use the discount co de NETRUNNER4EVERYONE for 100% off the base ticket price. This discount co de does not have unlimited uses. Please use one if it would help\, but onl y if you plan to participate in the event. If the free tickets happen to r un out\, you can check again later as quite a few players donate to fund a dditional free tickets. ❤️\nAlternatively\, if can pay something but t he full ticket price would be a burden\, you're welcome to take $6 off wit h the code 18$TICKET.
