Despite characters showing:

Oops
Character Not Available

This character profile could not be displayed, possibly for one of the following reasons:

The character has been inactive for an extended period of time.
The character name or realm was spelled incorrectly.
The profile is temporarily unavailable while the character is in the midst of a process such as a realm transfer or faction change.
Characters that have been deleted are no longer available.

I seem to be getting ticket progress again by completing my cooking nomi daily quests on each character. So if anyone else is having this issue (typically servers who got mergers or were physically moved) make sure you still check ticket progress. There is hope yet!
