The Pokémon Company and Nintendo certainly pushed the boat out with its Eon Ticket distribution last year, with the vital item making its way around the world through StreetPass hits; they were so proud of the promotion in the UK that they even produced an infographic to show it off.
For those keen to experience Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire fully it is an important item - it allows you to travel to the Southern Island and catch Latias or Latios; this is the first step in Mega evolving those 'mon to then fly and reach Mirage areas with the Soar ability. There are conceivably those, unfortunately, that will have missed out on picking this up via StreetPass, so The Pokémon Company is going to run a serial code promotion to resolve the issue; the code will be issued on the official website between 27th February and 2nd March, so there's not long to wait.
Do you still need an Eon ticket? If so, this'll be your chance, and we'll be sure to share the code once it's issued.

I could just be forgetting, but are these remakes getting more love with distributions than X and Y did? I didn't pick either of these up because X/Y had so little new to offer. Just a bit annoying... but still not picking it up.
I want my co-op online battle tower/mansion/whatever Game Freak. You did it in Soul Silver/Heart Gold, so I'm not asking for the moon!
Should be noted this is NOT needed for Soar, you get either Latios or Latias in game, the Eon Ticket is to get the other.
I was lucky enough to get an Eon Ticket early on, but this is what they should've done first!
I'm glad they are doing this, as much as I like streetpass it's always hit or miss in my area.
@XCWarrior I agree with you. All of the events are for ORAS which kind of makes sense because it's the latest game, but it's a remake... Would love to get this on X/Y.
If you don't live in a city, like me, it's incredibly hard to get streetpasses. I'm glad they're doing this.
the eon ticket is actually the first key item event I think was done right.
giving players the ability to redistribute it allows everyone to get it, while still making it special because you have to encounter someone who got it.
I too live in a bad streetpass area, but I did manage to catch an eon ticket streetpass.
Eh. I never Streetpass anyone, so I'll be claiming this.
I literally just got my eon ticket today -_-
To be fair though I haven't played OR in over a month so I could have got the eon ticket at any point during that time... I had like 15 streetpasses.
I'm glad Ninty are doing an online distribution for this, so no-one is left out, though starting with Streetpass was a good idea. Hopefully we see more Streetpass promotions in future - as long as Nintendo make whatever content that is distributed available to all gamers later on.
Sounds pretty nice, though I already got my Eon Ticket when school started again so it doesn't really matter to me.
I'll definitely be getting this since I haven't StreetPassed anyone that actually has the Ticket.
I guess I was really lucky then, I got the ticket with my first Streetpass
shiny latias here i come
This is good for me, no one uses Streetpass around here.
I'm glad they addressed this for people who get nothing out of the Streetpass feature.
"official website" - Finally.
Streetpass suck in place where Nintendo isn't popular (where i live)
Also limit for 12 (twelve?) games/programs max working with streetpass kinda suck too.
You can rise this limit Nintendo with your stability updates you know?
That's good. It was fun to get it from a passerby, but now hermits can get it ^_^
I got the ticked during our Christmas vacations, but it's nice of them to offer it like this.
Cool! I already got one, but that's nice that they're re-releasing the code.
Is it out yet? It is the 27th.
@pokedude583
The code is STILL NOT on the website Nintendo what are you doing!? This is my only chance to get one.
@Leafgreenmary It's out now! POKEMON380381 is the code.
