How many Tix is 1 Robux?

Published in Roblox Currency 2 mins read

The conversion rate between Tix (Tickets) and Robux was not fixed; initially, 1 Robux was equal to 10 Tix, but this rate fluctuated, hovering around 1 Robux for 14-17 Tix towards the end of Tix's existence as a tradable currency on the Roblox platform.

Understanding Roblox's Past Currency System

Before its discontinuation, Tix was a secondary currency on Roblox, alongside Robux. Players could earn Tix daily by logging in, visiting their places, or receiving visits from others. Robux, the primary currency, is purchased with real money or earned through various platform activities. The ability to trade Tix for Robux via the "Trade Currency" (also known as the "Tickets to Robux Exchange" or "DevEx") feature was a significant aspect of the economy for many years.

The Fluctuating Exchange Rate

Contrary to common belief, the Tix to Robux exchange rate was dynamic and not set at a constant value. The rate was influenced by the supply and demand within the "Trade Currency" system, often varying daily.

  • Initial Rate: When the currency exchange was first introduced, the conversion rate was approximately 1 Robux for 10 Tix.
  • Later Fluctuation: As the system evolved and player engagement changed, the rate shifted. Towards the end of the Trade Currency application's lifespan, players often observed a rate where 1 Robux cost between 14 and 17 Tix. This meant you needed more Tix to get the same amount of Robux, indicating a change in their relative values within the platform's economy.

The table below summarizes the general observed conversion rates:

Initially 10
Towards the End of Trading 14-17

The End of Tix

Tix was ultimately removed from the Roblox platform on April 14, 2016. This decision was made to streamline the virtual economy, simplify currency management for users, and encourage a focus on Robux as the sole primary currency. Since then, Robux has been the only virtual currency available for purchases and trades on Roblox.
