At the beginning of each month, users will receive 30 tickets each.  Keep in mind that tickets do not roll over from month to month.

Each video will have how many tickets it will require to watch and how long you have to watch it.

The Great Courses requires tickets. The number of tickets and viewing period is clearly labelled for each course. Users can watch as many Great Courses as their ticket allotment allows each month.

After starting a video, you can watch as many times as you like within the viewing period without using more tickets.

Some titles like Kanopy Kids, do not require tickets

For episodic titles, like TV series and The Great Courses, users can see what content the tickets unlock (e.g., “Season 1” or “all.“) Users have access to a Continue Watching shelf so they can pick up where they left  off and see how much time is remaining .
