Break Open Ticket Impact of Recent Changes and $1 Ticket - An Industry Perspective
In 2010, the AGCO introduced changes to Break Open Tickets allowing third party charities to apply for a "single licence", thereby, giving charities and suppliers more flexibility to introduce new ticket types.

Research commissioned by the Ontario Break Open Ticket Development Fund shows that a $1 Ticket, if introduced properly, could have promising results.
