Trade Tickets are an NBA Top Shot feature providing utility for Moment™ NFTs. Collectors can trade a Moment for a Trade Ticket which can then be used to secure exclusive packs. You cannot buy, sell, or gift Trade Tickets, and they are only acquired by trading in a Moment.
Each Moment, regardless of the Moment's rarity, is valued at one Trade Ticket only.
To view the number of Trade Tickets in your possession, click on your profile picture in the top right corner. If you do not have any Trade Tickets, the icon will not appear.
The number of Trade Tickets you have can also be seen by selecting Trade In Moments on the right-hand side of your Collection's Moments page. Collectors are able to trade in multiple Moments in a single transaction (up to 50 Moments).
