A Quick Diversion: I'll get you EH! NICK15!, even if I must use a spoon!
The Actual News:
Well, I just got my Eon Ticket in the mail today (gotta love that eBay, eh?), and I instantly scanned it. Woo. So... here's all of the details:
1- First, you'll need Mystery Event activated. If you haven't done so already, first you'll need five badges. Then, go to the man standing next to the PC in the Petalburg Pokémon Center. Change your profile to "MYSTERY EVENT IS EXCITING". Save and reset. You'll see "MYSTERY EVENT" as a choice from the main menu under "NEW GAME" now.
2- Scanning it works just like scanning a Pokémon Battle-e Card. Open up the Mystery Event in Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire first (and have the GBA with R/S with the Player 1 plug), then scan the Dot Code. Then on the GBA with R/S, press A to load the Eon Ticket data. The GBA with R/S will then say "Go see your father at the GYM in PETALBURG." If you try to send the data again to the same Game Pak, the following message appears: "The EVENT may beplayed only once." (Yes, a space really is missing between "be" and "played".)
3- Go talk to Norman (your dad) at the Petalburg Gym. He'll then say the following:
DAD"MAY! Good to see you!
There's a letter here for you,MAY.
[Obtained the EON TICKET]
[MAY put away the EON TICKET
in the KEY ITEMS POCKET.]
DAD"It appears to be a ferry TICKET.
but I've never seen one like it before.
You should visit LILYCOVE and ask
about it there.
Odd how there's some grammatical errors in the message. They used a quotation mark(") insead of a colon(:) to denote when your dad starts talking, no space between "you," and "MAY" in the second line, and the third line should either have a comma after "TICKET", or the fourth line should have "but" capitalized.
4- To be able to use the Eon Ticket in the game, you must have already beaten the Elite Four and the Pokémon League Champion. Because the construction of the ferry S.S. Tidal won't be done until then. After getting the ticket (and beating the Pokémon League), go to Lilycove (not Slateport, it won't work there). Show the ferry attendant your Eon Ticket, and she'll go inside the ship, and a Sailor-type character will come out. He'll tell you how it's odd how you'd want to go to such a small island, and how your ticket is old, blah, blah, blah... just get on the ferry now.
5- Once you arrive on Southern Island, save the game before you press the A Button on the monument! Like all stationary legendary Pokémon, you only get one shot at this Eon Pokémon (Latios in Sapphire, Latias in Ruby). They'll be at Lv:50, they carry the Soul Dew item (boosts Special Attack and Special Defense of Latios or Latias), and their attacks are:
LATIOS:
Luster Purge, Psychic, Recover, Dragon Dance
LATIAS:
Mist Ball, Psychic, Recover, Charm
6- Battle Recommendations? Well, if you haven't already used your Master Ball and have all of the other legendaries (Groudon/Kyogre, Rayqauza, Regice, Registeel, Regirock, and the Eon Pokémon of Hoenn), use it here to save yourself the time of getting it to stay inside your Poké Ball of choice. If not, read on.
First, I'd recommend someone using Taunt. Thus, they can not use Recover or Charm/Dragon Dance, at least, for a couple of turns. Then, put them to sleep with your sleep-inducing move of choice. Then have a Pokémon use False Swipe to whittle down its HP down to 1. Now, the Eon Pokémon is very weak, and can't heal itself! Then, I'd recommend using either Ultra Balls (because they're the best of the normal Poké Balls), Nest Balls (because it's very weak now, or because it's level is much lower than your Pokémon's. I forget how this Ball works), or Timer Balls (if the battle really drags out). Like all legendary Pokémon, they're not gonna get caught without a fight, so bring plenty of Balls (unless you're really lucky, and it takes you only one... you lucky son of a gun...).
7- *comes back eating some popcorn* ... Oh? You're done? You caught the Eon Pokémon? Well, congrats. Now, leave Southern Island AND NEVER COME BACK! Seriously, though. You can never go back to Southern Island (although, maybe with GameShark/Action Replay... but I don't condone the use of such products! 
If you didn't go to E3, don't worry about not getting an Eon Ticket. There's always eBay (that's how I got mine). Also, I've heard that the Pokémon Center in New York City would be giving them out, but I think that might've have been just last weekend. Ah, well.
[CORRECTION!!]I was recently informed by Shining Celebi that Pokémon Center New York will be giving out the Eon Ticket the weekend of May 31st, too. So, for those of you in New York (or driving distance of the Pokémon Center, anyways) haven't missed out yet! Isn't that awesome?
So... eat plenty of calcium!
... What? Why are you staring at me?
...
... Oh? It's because I used the name "MAY" with the dialogue? Well, it's because I chose the girl in my Sapphire Version. But I chose the boy in my Ruby Version! So, it's not like I'm crazy or anything... although, many people claim I am crazy... but... umm...
YESI'MAWESOME!!!
*runs off*
