Question about the gold and silver tickets

So a few days ago i started a new character, and i didnt use thefree silver and gold tickets that you get when you create a new character. Now that i have a 9 gap and im sp farming. i used to silver ticket to test it so i can see how it works and if i like it, maybe i can buy some gt later on.

So anyway, here is my question. I went on stronghold griding there and used the silver ticket. After about 30-40min or so i got tired and went to eat. i teleported into town and while in town, i noticed that the ticket kept running, it was still counting down the minutes. is this right or what? i have no idea how they work. So anyway, i disconnected and went back to eating hoping that will fix the issue. but when i logged back on again, the ticket was still running. So how does this 3 hours ticket bussines work?

does the ticket run for 3 hours continuesly regardless of if your fighting or if your in town? i dont get it. it suppose to stop or start 20 secs after you attack or get attacked, but this ticket keeps counting down the minutes even when im in down. here are some screenshots. someone more experienced with tickets might know more of whats going on. As you can see i havent moved from the location at all, and the timer is still running down.

You get 3 hours.. ie 180 minutes. Your minutes arent going down. You simply have 24 hours to use those minutes, and thats what you see going down. Hope that explains it for you :)

And FYI, even you if you go past your 24hour service period, the ticket will keep running and allow you to use the remainder of your 3 hours actual exp bonus time.

any time not used today can be added to your "previous day" mins... but there is no "day before previous day mins" so you only have 48 hours to use your 3 hours up, if you dont, you lose them. also, if your first 24 hours are still running, even if you completed your 3 hours, you cannot start another ticket.

You have up to 24 hours after the end of "service" time to use the "experience time"
