Arena Tickets Earned Through Events Do Not Expire
Just for clarity's sake, any arena tickets you've earned through events don't expire when the event is over, though being able to earn them will. If you don't want to take my word on it, allow Ben Brode's confirmation to allow you to rest assured.
This should also apply to any tickets you earn, so rack 'em up if the opportunity arises!
Quote from Ben BrodeIf you have tickets, they will NOT go away when the event ends. The ability to get the ticket will go away when the event ends, so make sure to log in and get the ticket before then, if you're interested. Maybe that was the source of the confusion?
Just to be hyper clear - once you have a ticket, you keep it. But honestly the dual-class arena is super fun and I highly recommend trying it!
Anyone got his/her previous arena run "cancelled" because of the event though ?
I had this arena deck in waiting because i wanted to do a run in on session. 4 legendaries ! Including Kazakus and Deathwing. Rest of the deck was meh but I really wanted to try it.
When I logged in the other day, my run was cancelled, I was given a 0 win reward ( 1 pack and 20 gold ) and told "hey ! look free arena runs !"
If you read the details of the event, it said that all unfinished arena runs would be retired and rewards would be given based on how many wins the deck had.
The dual class arena is fun!!
I also don't get why you wouldn't play this. I actually saved my from the previous event, because I wasn't that interested. I did very happily play 4 free Dual Class arenas though. Great fun, very cool concept, and lots of interesting choices.
I just pointed out what Ben said to a new player a day ago:

It's good that he clarify it. I thought the ticket is only for the event.
