The event producer, Akintola Ayinde, explained that a golden ticket is the most valuable ticket in the world.

He said, ‘’the golden ticket is a voucher that indicates that an individual is entitled to an event. It simply serves as a proof of entitlement and that is the main reason he decided to make the award plaque a mould of a golden ticket.’’
