Indeed, very complex topic with prepositions...
I noticed how in English often "for" is being used, and was surprised several times, as in "hope on"
Билеты:
на сеанс, на балет, на сегодня, на меня, на автобус... Но: в кино, в театр, в купейный вагон
Поиск/ожидание/...:
счастья, теплохода,... (without prepositions)
Надежда/Планы/...:
на успех, на выздоровление
Любовь/Ненависть/...:
к девушке, к комфорту, к чтению,....

I am afraid there are no rules here, one has to remember by practicing.
