tix

Tix is an informal way of saying tickets, especially tickets to a fun event, as in I bought several tix to the football game if anybody wants to go with me.

Tix is most likely to be used in casual conversation or in informal writing, as in text messages or on social media.

The first records of the word tix come from around 1935. It is an alteration of tics, as shortening of the word tickets.
