Darkmoon Dirigible

YOU CAN EARN MORE THAN 1000 A LOT OF TICKETS IN ONE DMF
Ticket breakdown (assuming you have never been to the DMF):
100 tickets from [item=126930] you can only do this quest once per character
10 tickets from Moonfang's Pelt
80 tickets from Darkmoon Despoiler artifacts
8 tickets from primary profession quests
12 tickets from secondary profession quests
10 tickets from Test Your Strength
105 tickets from doing both pet battle dailies all seven days
56 tickets from doing all the race and mini game dailies all seven days on character
672 tickets from doing all the race and mini-game dailies all seven days on one realm full of characters and mailing the [item=93724]s to your ticket collecting character (you can only mail items to characters on the same realm unless it's a bind on account item or unless your realm is connected with another realm)
1 ticket from the non-repeatable quest Welcome to the Darkmoon Races
5 tickets from the non-repeatable quest The Darkmoon Faire
387 tickets total

You can earn even more tickets if you have: more than 12 characters on connected realms to farm [item=93724]s with, if you create and delete class trial characters to farm [item=93724]s with (you can only make 8 class trial characters per week), if you do the other primary profession quests (you have to level your profession to level 75 to do the DMF quests), if you do DMF dailies before the dailies reset on the first day of the fair or if you trade [item=93724]s
I got my info from the guide Darkmoon Faire Made Easy

Finally a DMF ticket sink I can buy right of the bat!

I've been doing the profession quests and Test Your Strength occasionally as a side-thing when I'm farming for the Darkmoon Eye. Since I don't care for the replica armor sets, the tickets have slowly amassed ever since I bought all the previous mounts and pets many years ago.
