If you are claiming GR author tickets, you must provide the author names in your post. If you are claiming a Big book ticket, you must include the number of pages in your post. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in this thread.
Any reposts to claim GRA or BB tickets should indicate at the top that this is the purpose of the post, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to review the posts again for task points.
