On November 9th, the 15th National Games opened at the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center. The opening ceremony ticket, designed by Guangdong Advertising Group Co., Ltd. (GIMC), made its stunning debut at the same time. Guided by the core concept of "integrating tradition and embracing the future", it serves as a "cultural calling card" for conveying the spirit of the Games and showcasing regional characteristics.

As the first National Games jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, this edition carries exceptional significance. The ticket design went through dozens of iterations before two designs, titled "Leaping Motion" and "Pursuing Dreams", emerged victorious. The face of the ticket features a dominant "Chinese Red" palette and takes the shape of the "red packet", a cultural symbol shared across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The design not only enriches the festive ambience but also evokes the warmth of Lingnan's festival traditions, deepening cultural identity.

Breaking from the traditional horizontal format, the design innovatively adopts a vertical layout, aligning with the visual habits of the vertical-screen era and facilitating digital media dissemination and interaction. The "Leaping Motion" version centers on a bird's-eye view of the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center stadium, with the roof form echoing the theme of "Leaping Greater Bay Area". The fifteen golden streaming lines correspond to the edition number of the Games, resembling track lanes that symbolize the spirit of struggle. The "Pursuing Dreams" version outlines the silhouette of the Tianhe Sports Center, highlighting Guangzhou's enduring sports heritage and its close ties with the National Games.
To enhance its collectible value, the ticket incorporates a range of international-standard anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as miniature micro-engraved patterns, invisible fluorescence, and intaglio printing. The central typography is embossed with a distinct tactile texture, and under ultraviolet light, the emblem reveals tri-color fluorescence along with the mascots' images. Within this small ticket lies craftsmanship and technological innovation, making it a unique medium that embodies the cultural integration of GBA and the spirit of sport.
