If you want to build a championship roster of limited-time furniture, outfits, and hairstyles in Heartopia, you need premium draft capital. In this league, that capital comes in the form of Exhibition Passes.
These passes are the exclusive currency required to execute pulls on the game’s high-stakes gacha banners. With standard rates requiring six passes for a single pull (and 60 passes for a 10-pull), securing a steady flow of this currency is the only way to avoid striking out when elite items hit the server. Whether you are grinding it out as a Free-to-Play (F2P) rookie or opening up the front-office wallet to buy out the market, here is the complete, inverted-pyramid breakdown of how to stock your inventory.

The Free Agency Grind: How to Get Exhibition Passes for Free
You don’t always need a massive payroll to secure top-tier assets. Heartopia offers several avenues for F2P players to grind out passes and stay competitive on the gacha boards.
-
The Hidden Free Agent Bonus: Don’t leave free assets on the table. Head to the Gilded Acorn Exhibition, navigate to the “Exhibition Pass Pack” section in the lower right corner, and click the pack on the far left. You will immediately secure six free Exhibition Passes just for checking in.
-
Front Office Payouts (Mailbox Gifts): The game’s developers routinely act as a generous front office, dropping free passes directly into your mailbox to celebrate server milestones. For example, all players were gifted a massive 120 free passes just for jumping into the game at launch.
-
Special Event Tournaments: Participating in limited-time crossover events—such as the highly anticipated My Little Pony collaboration—is one of the most reliable ways to grind out free passes by completing event-specific objectives.
-
Redemption Codes: Always keep an eye on the waiver wire. The developers occasionally release promo codes on social media that can be redeemed for free Exhibition Passes.
Opening the Wallet: The Best Paid Strategies for Passes
If you are looking to aggressively pursue a guaranteed-drop banner (where the cost of a pull increases each time to guarantee zero duplicates), you are going to need more cap space than free agency can provide. Here is the most efficient way to spend your cash.

The MVP Contract: GAMG Full Membership
If you are only going to sign one contract this season, make it the GAMG Membership. For a highly efficient $2.99 USD per month, this subscription offers the best return on investment in the game:
-
Signing Bonus: 20 Exhibition Passes immediately upon purchase.
-
Attendance Clause: Up to 60 additional passes earned simply by logging in throughout the month.
-
Cash Considerations: 120 Heart Diamonds (which can be converted into even more passes).
Bulk Discount Packs
If you need immediate capital, head to the Gilded Acorn Exhibition and look for the Exhibition Pass packs. These bundles allow you to buy 60 passes at a time at a heavy discount compared to single pulls. Scouting Note: These packs have a strict inventory cap, meaning you can only buy a few before they sell out for the cycle.
Exchanging Heart Diamonds
The final method is direct conversion. Heart Diamonds are Heartopia’s premium real-money currency. You can exchange Heart Diamonds directly for Exhibition Passes at a flat exchange rate of 10 Heart Diamonds = 1 Exhibition Pass.
Loyalty Reward: As a bonus for heavy spenders, accumulating 300 “purchase points” across the Acorn Shop (by buying Heart Diamonds or the GAMG Membership) automatically triggers a loyalty payout of six extra Exhibition Passes.
