Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets are an ACE COMBAT ONLINE progression reward used at the Supply Shop for item packs. Bandai Namco specifically lists Supply Tickets among the extra Season 1 Premium Ace Pass rewards, alongside credits and blueprints, and says those rewards feed aircraft upgrades that can also be earned through normal play.
The key distinction is that Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets belong to the online side of ACE COMBAT 8. They are not Campaign MRP, and spending time in Campaign Mode will not move the seasonal pass in the same way as completing online missions for Ace Pass XP.
Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets: how to get them
For Season 1, Bandai Namco confirms Supply Tickets on the Premium Ace Pass track. Complete ACE COMBAT ONLINE missions to earn Ace Pass XP, raise your pass level and claim the ticket rewards when you reach the relevant tiers.
The Premium track also includes the ADFX-02 Morgan-PIXY, extra cosmetics, blueprints and credits. Premium Ace Pass Plus uses the same reward structure but immediately unlocks the first 30 of 100 levels when redeemed, so any ticket reward sitting inside those first 30 levels is granted with the rest of the unlocked rewards.
How to use Supply Tickets
Take Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets to the Supply Shop and exchange them for item packs. Bandai Namco says the resulting progression items can be used to unlock aircraft upgrades that are also obtainable through in-game play, which keeps the tickets connected to online aircraft development rather than Campaign purchases.
The publisher has also been clear that ACE COMBAT ONLINE does not rely on paid randomized loot boxes. Supply Shop progression therefore should not be confused with buying a paid chance at a random reward.
Are Supply Tickets the same as credits?
No. Bandai Namco lists credits, blueprints and Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets as separate reward types. Tickets are exchanged for item packs at the Supply Shop, while the wider online economy also contains currencies and progression items used across aircraft, cosmetics and upgrades.
Keeping those systems separate helps when reading the Ace Pass reward screen. A level that grants a ticket is not simply adding Campaign MRP or replacing your normal online credits.
Do Free Ace Pass players get Supply Tickets?
The current Season 1 announcement specifically calls out additional Supply Tickets in the Premium track. The Free track is confirmed to include cosmetics, blueprints, XP, Zoll contracts, boost tickets, aircraft banners and other progression rewards, but the public comparison does not give a complete tier-by-tier ticket count for every free level.
Use the live pass screen for the exact current tier placement rather than assuming every type appears on both tracks. Season rewards change, and Bandai Namco says each Ace Pass season lasts two months.
Do Supply Tickets work in Campaign?
No Campaign use is described for Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets. Campaign progression revolves around MRP and the Aircraft Tree, while Online uses its own save, aircraft acquisition and seasonal rewards.
If your goal is unlocking a Campaign aircraft such as the F-35C, farm MRP instead. If your goal is developing your mercenary aircraft online, the Supply Shop and Ace Pass are part of that separate route.
Premium Ace Pass Plus and Supply Tickets
Premium Plus does not create a different Supply Ticket shop. It unlocks the Premium reward track and skips the first 30 Ace Pass levels immediately, granting the normal and premium rewards attached to those levels at redemption.
That means Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets inside the skipped section are part of the time-saving value of Premium Plus rather than a separate ticket bundle. Deluxe Edition owners can also save their Premium Ace Pass Plus voucher for another season instead of automatically spending it on Season 1.
What should you spend tickets on?
Check the current Supply Shop item packs against the aircraft upgrades you are actually building online. Because online and Campaign progression do not transfer, there is little value in choosing an item solely because it resembles a Campaign route you already completed.
Use Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets to support the aircraft and role you are actively developing in online play, then let normal mission rewards and blueprints fill the rest of the progression over time.
Ace Combat 8 Supply Tickets is easier to understand once Campaign progression and ACE COMBAT ONLINE are treated as separate systems rather than one shared aircraft economy.
