Who would you have given the ticket to in "The Ticket Master" if you were Twi?

[Foreigner And Lover 207]

Applejack is the pretty obvious choice since she's trying to support her family and the others are just trying to meet other people (or animals).

[fimdash 1,196]

I'd probably do the same thing as Twi and not go unless all my friends could attend. I'd hate for any of my friends to feel left out, and it gives off the impression that I might like certain friends over others. Not going wouldn't be that big of a loss for me anyway, since I don't care much for those formal events.

 

If I had no choice but to choose one pony, I'd give it to Applejack. The other Mane 6 ponies wanted to go for their own self-interests, and although there's nothing wrong with that, the fact that Applejack wanted to go with the intention of helping out her family gives her the best reason for attending. Also, she was the first one to ask. It was out of pure happenstance that Applejack was there when Twilight received the tickets, so she was lucky enough to be given the first opportunity to ask. I'd say those two reasons give Applejack top priority for the ticket.

 

 

 

[Zygen 6,066]

Well, as much as I like Fluttershy, i'd probably give them to applejack, since she has a better reason, or atleast a not totally selfish to an extent reason, and she also asked first.

 

However, honestly if i could i'd just not go or have anyone go, I mean if I had friends like twilight's i'd not be able to choose just like her, and i'd probably just not take anyone, or go at all myself. That or i'd ask for more tickets maybe.

 

But assuming i'd have to choose i'd pick AJ.

[DarligPegasi 315]

Apple Jack for sure because her reason was the most unselfish. She wasn't even thinking of herself she was thinking of her family! everyone elses reasons seemed so self centered.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Certainly Applejack. She's the only one who's reason for going was selfless. I would prioritize Granny Smith getting a hip replacement and Big Mac getting some tools that don't suck so they can do the work they need to do in order to survive over anypony else's far-fetched dreams of grandeur or desire to party, because that's what the other's motives were in a nutshell. Except for Fluttershy, though Twilight could use her position with the princess to get Fluttershy access to the garden at any time.

 

I could also scalp the extra at the gate for a high price and go in alone. And if I was Twilight and planned on snubbing my friends to hang with the princess the whole time, that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

[Smarts 1,622]

Applejack. Her reason for going was not for personal gain. Rainbow Dash just wanted to see the wonderbolts and fangirl over them, Rarity wanted to romance Prince Jerkbag, Pinkie wanted to go just so she could party, and Fluttershy just wanted to see the animals. Applejack on the other hand wanted to go mainly so she could make extra bits for her family. She had the most unselfish reason for going and deserves the ticket.

[Untitled Goose Q 5,137]

Unfortunately, they did not know him at the time, but... Discord. That would have livened up the Gala alright

 

Or Mayor Mare, she could use a break.

[ReGen 1,466]

Applejack, because she is really the only one who deserved the ticket.

 

Although, I probably would have wanted to give it to Dashie and then I would ask her go to with me *blush* (But that's assuming I'm me and not Twi)

 

My thoughts exactly. Applejack pretty much wins this one.

 

Although... Pinkie Pie is a party animal... She would be the most fun to party with... Other than Dashie, of course! 

[MLPForums Phanact 1,374]

If my friends had better reasons than me to attend an event like this then I would most likely enter all the names into a random generator and whichever names popped up would get the tickets.

[hawkflame 3,310]

Me, I'd keep one for myself and scalp the other for a couple thousand bits. But that's probably not keeping with the theme of the show, so...

 

I'd put up a vote among the other five, with the stipulation that they cannot vote for themselves.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

I'll have to agree with the majority here. Applejack had the only real reason to go. Everyone else wanted the ticket for their own personal needs. I mean she's just trying to help her family.

[Pixelish 12]

Much like alot of others, without a doubt it would be Applejack.

 

Even though Shutterfly is my favorite by far. Applejack is the only one with a legitimate reason to go, Applejack has a entire family and community to support, also if Applejack goes the whole town would advantage (Increased Sales, more crops all the boring things).

 

So with Applejack having to support a family a towns food supply, it would only be reasonable if she went (:

[Gigapony 650]

Gonna have to go with the herd here and say Applejack as well, and also I'd consider Rarity too.

 

However, not necessarily because of her reason being more charitable (which it is) but mostly because, out of the Mane 6, Applejack and Rarity seem like they'd be the ones I, Twilight Sparkle, could most trust to behave themselves at the Gala.

 

Pinkie was obviously gonna cause a scene, Rainbow would obviously be doing stunts to please the Wonderbolts, and Flutters... well we saw what happened with her.

 

Applejack is a mature, level-headed pony and she would've sat still and sold some treats, and Rarity knows just how to behave with upper-class snobs.

 

Or maybe I'll just be a troll and invite Sweetie Belle.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

Applejack was the only one willing to help her family (others) instead of herself. So that is the reason why I would give her my ticket.

Though that decicion would end up being unfair to everypony. So I probably would rather send them back at the end, like Twilight did.

[Esk 201]

For me, it would be a tie between Applejack and Rainbow Dash. I'd probably would've chosen Applejack, since she had a good reason to make that money, and there would always be the possibility of Rainbow Dash screwing up her first impression on the Wonderbolts. It's not a formal tryout, where you making a good first impression is a must if you want a slight chance of making it in, it's a formal party intended mostly for conversation and opportunities for the higher class Equestrians.

 

But there's always the chance that Applejack wouldn't make enough money, and I'd still have five other mares buttering me up for the ticket. I wouldn't of been as smart as Twilight; I probably would of made my point to all six of them that if you're just buttering me up without the idea of being a good friend in mind, and you won't respect the decision I'd make to give the second ticket to one of you, you're not being decent friends, now are you? Then I would have ripped both of the tickets up.

 

They'd probably hate my guts for that. Once again, not as smart as Twilight.

[lincolnshirepony 527]

I would give the ticket to Spike, because I believe the ticket was intended for him. He could decide who he wanted to give it to. =P

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

Everybody says Applejack had the best reason and she did but didn't anybody stop to think that this huge, most important party of the year would be CATERED so she wouldn't really do much business?

[TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,206]

I would have been smart and just asked Sunbutt for more tickets. She's the ruler of the land, she could get more tickets.

 

But if I was to choose one, I'd have chosen Applejack. She actually had a good reason to want to go. Making money for her family and business was the best reason to want to go to that Gala.

[RosemaryPetal 112]

Spike, her right hand hoof man. I think it would be the best choice, since he's not like the other five ponies.

*side note* I love how, even though half the fandom loves Rainbowdash, nopony noted to take her.

[Gizzbone 6]

I would give it to Applejack because she had a valid reason to go. Fluttersy practically lives with animals and around nature, Rainbow could try out for the wonderbolts when they came to Cloudsdale, Pinkie Pie always parties, Rarity could just meet a Stallion walking around ponyville, just because the Stallion is fancy doesn't mean he is right for her, and Spike didn't even want to go.

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

I would have told celestia no thank you, its not right if they all can't go then none of us should go, sure applejack really needs it but as we had all seen.... all the ponies there think they are "To damn good" for her food which is bull shit......

[PianoOfMuffins 38]

I feel Applejack's reasons for attending were the least selfish, actually, I would say they weren't even selfish at all. It wasn't just a case of "Oh I want to go because of this," it was more she really did seem to genuinely want to help out the whole family.

 

In my eyes, if Twi had been only able to give one ticket after all, I really do think it should have been Apple.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

For reasons everyone else has already mostly said, I'd have given it to Applejack. To put it bluntly, she was the only one who I feel truly deserved it.

[Dashabel 381]

Applejack. I even thought she would choose her for a second because hers was the only reasonable one! Being the honest, caring pony that she is, Applejack should have got the ticket. Bless her.

 

 

.... Come to think of it, when they did all go to the Gala, none of their intentions turned out well, did they? So would it have even mattered who Twilight had chosen because it was going to be such a disaster?

[FruitRiver 355]

I agree with Applejack. She is the only one who truly needed the money. I mean, isn't fixing your grannies hip and making a better life for your family more important then partying and stuff?
 

I think the worst one is Fluttershy though. I mean, doesn't she already have an animal paradise at home?
