laravel 5 fill form select with data

I'm trying to build a form to assign a reward to an item (I call it a "ticket"). I want a dropdown list with all of the tickets so that the person can then choose.

This is my controller

$tickets = Ticket::all();
return view('rewards.create',compact('tickets'));

And in my blade.php view

<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::label('ticket','reward for: ') !!}
    {!! Form::select('id', $tickets, Input::old('id')) !!}
</div>

This works, but it shows all the fields of the object. I want it show two fields. To store the 'id' in the vallue and 'description' in the written field of the select box, but doing something like

{!! Form::select('id', $tickets->description, Input::old('id')) !!}

brings up an error. Can anyone please help?

The options have to be passed as array: ['value' => 'text']. You can use lists() to build that array for you:

$tickets = Ticket::lists('description', 'id');
return view('rewards.create',compact('tickets'));

In your blade.php

<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::label('ticket','reward for: ') !!}
    {!! Form::select('id', $tickets->id, Input::old('id')) !!}
    {!! Form::select('description', $tickets->description, Input::old('description')) !!}
</div>
