At the time, roblox was expanding rapidly, with more and more players playing concurrently each day. In march of 2016, which was the month that they removed tickets, ROBLOX said on their blog, and I quote: that they had had a year-over-year monthly active user growth of 113%. Which was their highest user growth ever achieved.
On April 15, 2016, Tix was removed by Roblox and any remaining balances were forfeited. Login bonus: Users earned 10 tickets as a daily login bonus (until March 2016).
April 16 – A bug made by the tickets removal removed the ability to donate Robux by groups. Roblox shut down the payout system temporary until they fixed the bug. April 18 – Roblox launched ROBLOX Battle Arena 2016 with sponsoring to the new Captain America: Civil War movie.
Tickets (Tix for short) were a form of currency on Roblox, introduced on August 2, 2007. Compared to the primary currency, Robux, Tix had very little value. Tix were earned by players through various methods, including visiting the site daily and having other users visit their Place. Tix could be spent on Catalog items and on advertisements.
A Roblox Twitter account, Roblox Predictions V2, has stated that Roblox will try to bring back a feature that was removed from the game. This has led many players to believe that Tix might be coming back to the game. However, it is quite less likely that Tix will be coming back.
Users could also convert Tix into Robux using the trade menu. Contrary to popular belief, it was not at a fixed rate. 10 Tix was equal to 1 Robux initially, and hovered around 14-17 Tix for 1 Robux toward the end of the Trade Currency app.
$200.00 = 16,000 Robux*
It can be purchased for 17,000 Robux.
If Roblox hadn't removed tix, it's likely that tickets would've lost their value almost entirely within just a few years. Although tickets may seem like a pretty simple concept to a ROBLOX player who's been using the platform for a long time, it's an added confusion for any new players.
Possibly as a result of this, in 2009, the currency exchange rate for 1 Robuck was around 4 tix. But by 2012, the exchange rate for 1 robuck was at around 12 tix, that's a 300% increase in just 3 years. (2012)
