Subjects tells us who or what performs the action described in the sentence. Whether or not they include modifiers is what determines if a subject is simple or complete. A simple subject is the main word functioning as subject without any of the modifiers that may describe it.

Therefore, the simple subject is this sentence is Tickets.
