Have you observed behaviour different from the below documentation?

NAME
       SSL_set_num_tickets, SSL_get_num_tickets, SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets,
       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets - control the number of TLSv1.3 session tickets
       that are issued

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        int SSL_set_num_tickets(SSL *s, size_t num_tickets);
        size_t SSL_get_num_tickets(SSL *s);
        int SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(SSL_CTX *ctx, size_t num_tickets);
        size_t SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() and SSL_set_num_tickets() can be called for a
       server application and set the number of session tickets that will be
       sent to the client after a full handshake. Set the desired value (which
       could be 0) in the num_tickets argument. Typically these functions
       should be called before the start of the handshake.

       The default number of tickets is 2; the default number of tickets sent
       following a resumption handshake is 1 but this cannot be changed using
       these functions.  The number of tickets following a resumption
       handshake can be reduced to 0 using custom session ticket callbacks
       (see SSL_CTX_set_session_ticket_cb(3)).
