Yep, they're counter locked unfortunately. I just did mine --- my timezone is UTC+10 so it's May first here already.
PSA: YOU HAVE ONE MAY DAY TICKET PER YEAR (thread contains spoilers)

Well time travelling to tomorrow didn't give me another ticket. I can hope that Nintendo somehow knows when it is legitimately tomorrow and possibly releases another ticket. One ticket for a week long event and one ticket per year just seems absolutely tardigrade.

Doesnt Nook tell you you can only do this once per year though? He told me I can only use my ticket ONCE through May 7th.
Sorry about this though. Maybe every real time day Nintendo gives us a new ticket? I'm hoping for you.

Well Nook didn't only say that you have that one ticket, he Wilbur and Orville also both mentioned that you have to call the Rescue Service if you are stuck or want to try again and that you can't return once you leave the island.. If y'all don't read what they tell you that's kind of on you.. Of course it sucks a lot, but it's not like they didn't tell you..

Why do you only get one ticket for a 7 day event...? Thanks for the heads up on this but I wish you could do it once a day with different prizes each day or something!

If you go back to April 30th and then forward to May 1st it might work! I do this whenever I wanna guarantee Celeste and a meteor shower—those things are always there for me on April 1st but going straight to April 1st doesn’t get them to be there since the day doesn’t reset, so I go to the last day of March and then first of April and then Isabelle announces the meteor shower.

If you mess up call the rescue service to restart they tell you this?
I also read here that this is an every day event; you'll get one a day for the week and the map stays the same. Since it's a one a day thing I'm sure its tied to the internet being synced to real time.
If they did only have one ticket per the 7 day period it would be to make sure people who dont time travel and can only play sometimes have the opportunity to do this event as well.

At first, I wrote it off that I was way past the reset phase since I finished the maze but when I talked to Wilbur, he mentioned that I could use the rescue service to reset the maze so basically yeah, they did mentioned it initially during the introduction and then after you finished the maze.
Ok this might sound a bit mean but some people need to read more carefully...
Nook explicitly says he left a May Day Ticket at the airport counter and then he follows up with: May 7th is the last day you can use it. I'm not sure how anyone can interpret that as a ticket every single day until May 7th.
On the Island, Wilbur also says the rescue service will reset things so you can restart the island.
Honestly, the rules and conditions of the event are mentioned pretty clearly and it's the player's responsibility to read it carefully.

I will say that it was pretty well clarified that you could reset the maze if you messed up by using the rescue service, but the scenario that you're in still does suck quite a bit. I don't see why they couldn't allow you to leave/arrive at the may day island multiple times until you received the prize from Rover, considering how it's the only way to get his briefcase.

I didn't mean to sound like a rant or self entitled or douchy or something. I know it's my fault but I'm sure others could make the exact same mistake I did so I want this to be a warning.
The exact wording by Tom Nook is as follows: "Nook Inc. has created a special tour for island residents. I call it the May Day Your! So take this opportunity to hop on a place, take a trip and unwind after all your hard work. I've left a May Day Ticket for you at the airport counter. May 7th is the last day you can use it, so take flight whenever you like before the event ends. I think that's everything I wanted to tell you."
What can 100% be concluded from that? He gave us a ticket for a May Day tour that we can use up before May 7th. What can not be concluded from that is whether we are able to get more tickets or not. Sure I made a wrong assumption but he also doesn't clearly state that it the only ticket you will get for the year.
Sure call me stupid not not understanding properly. I take responsibility. All I'm doing is trying to stop others making the same mistake I did.

It sucks the situation you are in. 
I do understand though why they'd only make it one ticket a year, considering May Day lasts for one day, and they're giving people a chance to use it for a week because not everyone can get on to play on May 1st.

Do you know if it's possible to just hard reset once you go in to start over? Because I messed up...
Edit: I just tried it and it looks like hard resetting does let you start over on the island!

Thank you for letting some of us know about this. I haven't done it yet and haven't event talked to Tom Nook so you've helped me at least. You are not stupid either, this is a helpful thread.
Some people are just quick to attack others...
