ticket

1. A small document that acts as proof of something, often thereby granting the holder some ability.Examples: "That's the ticket."; "I saw my first bike as my ticket to freedom."; ""Here's the ticket. This hole's big enough for Jim to get through if we wrench off the board.""figuratively

2. (usually technical support) A service request, used to track complaints or requests that an issue be handled.Examples: ""Yeah." It was him, alright; if the world's weariest pair of workboots hadn't tipped her off, his world-weary voice certainly would have. "Where were you?" "My quarters. We've got a full ticket set today, and techs work best without oversight." Neither of these things was untrue, though the curation was more than a little dishonest. "Maybe yours do." Nascimbeni rolled out, back flat against a neon orange creeper, and sat up with an audible wince. "Mine fuck the dog.""

3. (politics, informal) A list of candidates for an election, or a particular theme to a candidate's manifesto.Examples: "Joe has joined the party's ticket for the county elections."; "Joe will be running on an anti-crime ticket."; "Candidates like Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders are no longer too precious to run on the Democratic ticket, though the proposals they suggest are so ambitious — like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and free public college — that they don’t feel like compromises at all."informal
