PSA: YOU HAVE ONE MAY DAY TICKET PER YEAR (thread contains spoilers)

If it helps, try to make a second character? I haven't done the event yet with either, but both of my characters have a ticket waiting. Sorry this happened to you
 
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!
You dont need to hard reset just call the rescue service.
 
That sucks, sorry :/ you could try and make a new character just for this, as other have suggested.

I kinda thought it was a 7 day thing as well until I read your post, lol. I figured they’d make different islands to tour.
 
That's too bad. I did realize about this before even going for the tour though. Tom Nook, Rover and Wilbur told you about that, i guess

Good thing after three tries, i managed to finish the maze and got all the bell vouchers
 
oof that’s rough. sorry you had to learn the hard way ;u;
 
I have yet to do May Day yet, but if anyone wants the item you get at the end of the maze I have 5 characters and I get a ticket for each so just let me know.
 
If you call Rescue Services for 100 Nook Miles they reset the island and drop you back to the start!
 
how many tickets are on this island?
so far i have 9
i almost gave up after i screwed up my first attempt so i'm happy this tread even exists
 
The reward wasn't that great anyway imo
It was 9 bell vouchers worth 27k bells and an item called Rover's briefcase which I find kind of ugly, take mine for free if you want OP
 
I did the May Day event yesterday (timezone is a day ahead of Northern hemisphere times). Won't give too much away, but let's just say there are ways to get extra tickets once you use your one ticket and do the associated event.
 
You only get one ticket for the year. I think by exact they just mean you can't get the may day island again compared to the regular nook mile islands.

I definitely suggest watching a guide (there's several on YT or written ones) before using your ticket.

An option for those that messed up a ticket may be to use another character if you have one already made (or make one).

What way is that? You can put it in spoiler tags.
 
Okay guys, it is now officially May 2nd for me. I logged in and low and behold - no more May Day Tickets.

I think the fact that so many people think you can get one ticket a day and there are many articles stating you can get one ticket a day prove my exact point - it has not been made clear that you get one per year.

If you messed up like I did your only solution is to create a new character. Which I have done but I think it's a shame that my main character hasn't met Rover or completed the maze :(
 
I misunderstood Nook and thought that May Day tickets will always available until May 7. Not that the last day of claiming your single May Day ticket is on May 7. It was also pretty disappointing that they didn't let me take home those shrubs that I dug up lmao

Sorry, didn't read the post properly and thought that posters were saying there is only one ticket full stop, whereas obvs doing the event should net extra tickets if done correctly. I agree with the suggestion above of creating an extra character to go through the process again for those who missed out.

Edit: never mind, the tickets you get for completing the event are something different, I didn't bother to look at them properly after doing it, oops.

For me, the first of what you mentioned isn’t anything I was after; but, the second is and—even though I did not handle things perfectly—I did get that second item. So, I’m good. (I also have a second human character. So, I’m very good. (Thanks!)
 
Idk why so many articles and such have been stating that you can get one may day ticket a day?? I thought maybe I couldn‘t get more from TTing because they were timegated and nintendo would know when it’s actually the next day for you but it’s 6:30 am on May 2nd for me and nothing :( I didn’t care about more bell vouchers, and figured there wouldn’t be another exclusive prize (since I bet they wanted to make it longer so people who can’t play every day wouldn’t miss out) but I really wanted to play a new maze and talk to Rover again especially since he said that line about hoping fate would bring us together again!
 
Oh wow. You get 1 ticket for every year?

I completed May Day and it was pretty fun but I was under the assumption that, since it goes until May 7th, I'd get to do more maze-like tours. I mean, I guess I'm glad I talked to Rover afterward, but that's just ridiculous. Went into my game to get another ticket and Tom Nook wasn't giving anymore out nor did I find the tickets in the ATM.

I'm so sorry that you and other people got screwed over by this. I'm genuinely hoping that there're more opportunities within the week like we all assumed, but if this is it, then what an absolute waste.
