Purchasing entry or transport passes.
Contexto cultural
The 'SMS lístok' is a very popular way to pay for public transport. You send a message and wait for a confirmation code before boarding. Students and seniors often travel for free or at a heavy discount on national trains, but they still must 'kúpiť si lístok' (a zero-euro one) to have a valid seat. In the capital, the 'električenka' is the holy grail of tickets. It's a prepaid card that locals use instead of buying single 'lístky' every day. When buying tickets at a cinema, you are usually asked to choose specific seats on a screen. This is called 'miestenka'.
