This sounds like a great idea, but my immediate thoughts - especially upon seeing that there are monetary rewards - are that this would be dominated by clans and groups of friends who roam together to take everyone else out.
If it would be possible, changing everyone's name and default appearance to the exact same would go a long way in helping fight against this. In the middle of a skirmish, it would be somewhat more difficult to be able to tell just who's who, even if they were communicating over a voice program. It wouldn't eliminate it, of course, but just make it more awkward and prone to mis-attacking.
Not too sure on the amount of free tickets either. I think having one would be the best, rather than any more of them. Otherwise the amount of gold going out of the game would be reduced, negating the point of it being a minor goldsink anyway.
Maybe you could have a token system, wherein 1 kill = 1 token. These tokens could be spent on cosmetics or something like that. This potentially might deter bigger groups of people banding together because they'd want the tokens for themselves too. Just a maybe deterrence though, I don't know how liable that would be. But extra, non-monetary rewards would be nice as well.
These tokens would also incentivise people to not sit in a corner, waiting until the game is up. They could choose between the monetary reward or the token reward.
Just a few of my quick thoughts though.
