Got mine at Target, w/ sticker and ticket was there. So, it may only be certain Targets or batches of discs.
As for the packaging, I like the digipack in and of itself, but Fox needs to use better glue and a better holder for the booklet. Luckily, there's multiple glue points on the trays, but it gets out of hand on something like my Alien Quad.

got mine at Blockbuster a little bit ago, came with a ticket, and both trays are already starting to come loose.
I hate to sound like a dick, but I am tired of the packaging for some of the movies that 20th century fox puts out. Digipaks with trays and such that barely stay together. Alien Quadrilogy, Dark Angel, Predator, and so on. 9 discs and they decided on a foldout? holy crud.

"Here is a list of re-released Five star collections DVD’s with new packaging, a number on the side and the new name Collector's Edition instead of five star collection.
There are also some new releases.
1 - The Abyss (a new Double Digipack)
2 – Cast away (a new Double Digipack) + new cover design
3 - Independence Day (a new Double Digipack) + new cover design
4 – Planet of the apes 2001 (a new Double Digipack)
5 – The sound of music (a new Double Digipack) + new cover design
6 - ?
7 - Die Hard (a new Double Digipack)
8 - ?
9 – Fight Club (only new thing is the number 9 on the side)
10 – Alien (not an old five star collection but a new release, the one from the Quadrilogy box set)
11 –Aliens (not an old five star collection but a new release, the one from the Quadrilogy box set)
12 – Alien 3 (not an old five star collection but a new release, the one from the Quadrilogy box set)
13 – Alien resurrection (not an old five star collection but a new release, the one from the Quadrilogy box set)
14 –Planet of the Apes: 35 Anniversary (not an old five star collection but a new release)"
So, based on this, I would again say that with The Commitments being 15, Predator should have been 16, if the numbering information above is correct.
EDIT: I just found a responding post on the dvdanswers website, and this second person indicated that #6 is Speed and #8 is French Connection...if anyone's interested.

Has anyone had the ticket sticker on the front but not found a ticket inside?
I'm thinking of taking mine back today because of the disc tray, but see no reason why they need the ticket back. But in case they ask, I want to know if its possible mine could have not had it.

The glue's a little loose on the corners on mine, but not that big a deal. Still pretty sturdy.
What's the deal with "over 5 hours of out-of-this-world extras"? I watched the movie and every featurette, and I was definitely not sitting there for over 5 hours. Three, maybe...with both the movie and the extras. Why do they make these weird claims?

Did you count the commentary in there as an extra? A lot of discs include that when hyping the bonus materials.

I got mine yesterday for $9.99 at FYE and it came with the movie cash.
It's $14.99 at FYE/Coconuts/Strawberries/Wherehouse/Specs/etc. If you pre-order the Star Wars Trilogy for $5 which will be $34.99 after MIR, you can get $5 off of Predator. The slip didn't say which version of Predator so I was able to use it on the SE.

I went to FYE B/M and I open the box clearly in front of the rep. to check if the ticket was in there.
Anyone else buying it should do the same thing.

Here's what you do if you did not get a ticket
Call 20th Fox customer service
1-888-223-2369
Then they mail you one
So don't expect to be able to use this for the weekend
Also, this is a nation wide issue
