Shortly following his big win for “bloody valentine” at the Video Music Awards last weekend, Machine Gun Kelly is ramping up the hype around Tickets To My Downfall by unveiling the full tracklisting. This week, he sent fans on a scavenger hunt around Los Angeles to find out which songs and artists are featured on the new album.
For the scavenger hunt, fans had to drive around and locate 15 different bus stop benches that feature the titles and collaborations on Tickets To My Downfall.

Of course, fans accepted the challenge and managed to locate all of the bus stop benches very quickly. From the clues, we’ve learned that Tickets To My Downfall has 15 tracks and includes collaborations with Halsey, Trippie Redd, iann dior and, of course, blackbear on “my ex’s best friend.”

Halsey appears on track 5 of Tickets To My Downfall called “forget me too.” This collaboration was first speculated back in June when the song was registered to Halsey’s BMI page. According to the song’s registration, “forget me too” was written by MGK, Halsey and blink-182‘s Travis Barker who produced Tickets To My Downfall.
As well, Trippie Redd appears on the track “all i know” and iann dior is featured on “nothing inside.” Machine Gun Kelly and iann dior recently teamed up for the new horror musical podcast HALLOWEEN IN HELL which premieres on Oct. 10.
One fan was kind enough to share all of their scavenger hunt finds on Twitter.

Back in January, MGK teased a collab with the Used‘s Bert McCracken. He also previously confirmed that he was working on new music with YUNGBLUD. Although MGK still plans to release these collaborations in the future, they are not included on Tickets To My Downfall.
“The songs with me and @yungblud and the song with The Used aren’t on this release because they are for something special coming after,” he tweets. “Trust the process on that decision.”
