Al Basrah - What affects tickets?

Okay. This may sound like a simple-minded question, but it's driving me crazy.
The past few days, I've tried to play commander on the Insurgency 24/7 server a few times. And it's gone okay, though I tend to still lose every map. In particular, one thing baffles me more than any other. I don't know what gives tickets and what taketh away.
A couple of days ago, I was in a round and we had 14 tickets left, and 1 cache. Suddenly, ten seconds later, we had 1 ticket left and we lost the round before I could do anything. Someone told me later that it was because an APC was blown to smithereens and they cost 10 tickets, as do all the big assets. I had no idea that was true, I couldn't find any reference to it in the wiki. I had to search a fair bit in the manual to find reference to it.
And then tonight, I was playing again, and the Brits managed to rack up 388 tickets, 88 more than they started with, despite having taken heavy losses.
So my question is this:
Definitively, what increases or decreases the number of tickets available to the allied forces on an Insurgency map, in particular, Al Basrah?
