Claim Food Tickets at the Lobby Terminal

Food tickets that you get in Story Mode do not automatically get added to your inventory. Instead, you'll need to claim them from the lobby terminal after returning from Alterna before you can use it.

Level Up Your Catalog

Leveling up your Hotlantis Catalog also has a chance to give you food tickets! You can increase your Catalog level by playing Regular Battles or Anarchy Battles!
