What the sources verify
Abandoned Courtyard is documented with Trial, Challenge, Penitent, and Torment difficulties and requires at least one Cave Ticket. Historical codes IRONSOULWEEKEND6, IRONSOULWEEKEND7, and FIXINGPATCH were reported with Cave Ticket rewards. The August 9 active-code snapshot focused on rerolls, Origin Shards, vouchers, and other rewards rather than those expired ticket codes.
How to use this information
Confirm the selected difficulty and ticket cost in the lobby before joining because harder settings can change the value of each attempt. Do not redeem or share an old ticket code without checking its current status in the official Discord. If farming pet eggs, treat the ticket as a limited input and compare Abandoned Courtyard with slower expedition routes.
Version notes and pending confirmation
The community Gamepasses page says VIP doubles daily Cave Ticket grinding and grants 10 tickets, but this is not official public documentation. The same page says Double Ticket consumes twice the tickets for double drops; current store wording is Pending confirmation. Some sources use “Lucky Ticket” where others use “Cave Ticket,” so treat the names as separate until the live UI proves they are identical.
