Is there a way to raise the ticket ratios for LAN games?

No, but they are supposed to resolve this future at some point... still waiting for a major patch with this and many other fixes.

Well, somebody is doing this now, because I'm playing in games with 400, 500 and even 999 tickets per side. Could some guru/god share the love and make a short post on how to edit this??? Thx.

you can do it on the 1.1 server.

There you have to remote to your server and change the tickets.

Pardon my newblishness, but that reply presumes a familiarity with the server product past the generic config screen. Where does one find and edit the ticket # ***and*** HOW?

Select the map that you want to change th ticket count for and just below the selected maps box you will see two textboxes with the default values of 250.
You can modify these to what ever you want up to 1000 tickets per side.

You will have to do this with every map you are going to play...

Help Page of Server ver 1.1

Selected Map Ticket Count allows you to override the default ticket count for each side with your own values (up to 1000) for each side.
