Meaning
Two overlapping tickets with perforated tear-off stubs, typically rendered in shades of red, pink, or white with a checkered or dotted pattern. The design captures that classic concert or event ticket look, complete with separated sections meant to be torn apart.
People use this to reference attending live events—concerts, movies, sports games, festivals, theme parks, you name it. It's the go-to for sharing excitement about upcoming plans or reliving a great night out. On social media, you'll see it in captions like "can't wait for the show" or tagged on posts about memorable events.
Beyond literal event planning, it signals anticipation, adventure, and the thrill of experiencing something special in person. Some use it ironically when joking about their social calendar or as a playful way to invite friends along.
The design varies subtly across platforms—Apple's version leans more ornate and detailed, while others keep it simple and geometric. This emoji sits comfortably alongside 🎫 (its singular cousin), though admission tickets are plural and slightly fancier in feel. Approved as part of Unicode 0.7 in 2010.
Common Uses
- • Sharing excitement about an upcoming concert or event

Did You Know?
The perforated stub design is a nostalgic nod to physical ticket culture—a reminder of the pre-digital era when you'd actually tear off and keep a paper stub as proof of admission.
