Initially leaked a week ago and further revealed in the pages of Jump, the title for next year’s theatrical Dragon Ball movie in Japan has been confirmed by its own official website as “Battle of Gods” in English with a Japanese title of “Kami to Kami” (“God and God”):
The website includes a news post that goes on to restate the information previously revealed about the special “Collaboration Ticket” being produced between Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama and One Piece author Eiichiro Oda:
尾田栄一郎先生と鳥山明先生が、12月15日(土)『ONE PIECE FILM Z』と3月30日(土)『ドラゴンボールZ 神と神』の公開を記念して描き下ろしたビジュアルが、コラボチケットとして8989枚限定発売!シリアルナンバー入りの劇場鑑賞券が封入された額装式となっており、完売必至の超プレミアムチケットだ!
Eiichiro Oda and Akira Toriyama, in commemoration of the release of “One Piece Film Z” on Saturday, 15 December, and “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods” on Saturday, 30 March, have drawn new visuals that will appear on a collaboration ticket limited to 8989 copies! The ticket with its serial number is enclosed picture-frame style, and it is a super-premium ticket that’s sure to sell out!
The same image from Jump is repeated along with a list of participating cinemas:
At this point, the only outstanding tidbits that have not been officially confirmed are the two new characters showcased on the leaked poster.

I’m guessing the “8989” tickets is supposed to be significant to only the Dragon Ball Z franchise and not One Piece.
It’s goroawase (number-punning) for “waku-waku”, which means “excitement”.
It has nothing to do with being above a certain arbitrary value, which at any rate has no special significance to Japanese audiences.
