How it's used
Refers specifically to a pre-purchased set of vouchers or tickets that grant access to multiple sessions or items at a discounted rate. It is commonly used for services like swimming pools, gym classes, or cinema tickets where you pay upfront for a block of visits. The focus is on the convenience of having a pre-paid balance rather than just a single ticket.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a standard ticket, which is usually just 飛 or 飛仔. A套票 implies a multi-use or bulk-purchase nature, so using it for a single-entry ticket sounds unnatural.
