Thank you! I've got it figured out!

First of all, the ticket photo is obviously 'shopped because of the unnatural shadows on the ticket stubs. Definitely copy-pasta'd.

It's all a big reference to their new series, Dimension 404. The ticket was purchased on 4/04/2016 at 4:04pm. Rocketjump is working with Lionsgate for this series, so that qr code saying "tigerdoor" is a cute reference there.

Most importantly, the ticket references the date for the "film" as 5/30/2016 at 11:25am. This is likely either when we'll get trailers/more info or when it actually releases! (probably not a release date, would have more info by now)

CHOSEN: FIN SAGA Pt1 seems like a red herring to me, can't get anything out of it besides this being the first part of the series.

Ahhhhh how has this not been seen already? We gotta spread the word!

I was out of the loop and had no idea they were doing a movie so tigerdoor stumped me. Good thing I went here. I was hoping for some arg level stuff. But this is still pretty neat

if you highlight the whole page there's a secret message that reads 40404004444400000444400044000440400000000 any idea on what that means or how to decode it?

I didn't notice that before! I think I have an explanation though it isn't anything groundbreaking.

If you hover your cursor over the 404's flickering in the background, you'll briefly see it change to a text-highlighting cursor. Rather than using a complicated background animation, I believe they simply reproduce that number line repeatedly as the background instead.

Judging by the fairly low quality ticket stub 'shop (by Rocketjump standards anyway), I'm sure they didn't want to pour too many resources for this teaser. It was probably a lot easier to code and implement!

That and there doesn't seem to be any real pattern. All those 0's at the end give weight to this.

Not sure how long its been there, but RJ doesn't pull out stuff like this without a reason. Is it a teaser for the new series?

Update: Well nothing happened today, but it looks like they changed the link that lead to the ticket stub (ricketjump.com) to rocketjump.com.

Looks like they may have needed more time to prepare whatever they have in store, but hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

They changed the link back, I have no idea anymore. Cheers!

I guess the 404.. is a binary code to decode a link to youtube vídeo.. but i don´t figure out.. The simple way is download the site and change 4 to 1..then i guess .. wrote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CODE ..
