ticketless

/ˈtɪkətɫəs/ adj

Without a ticket or tickets.

Word Origin Ticketless is ticket + -less. Ticket comes from Old French estiquet 'a small stick or peg, a label,' from a Germanic root meaning 'to stick.' So a ticket was originally a small stick used as a token or label. The same root gives us stick, sticker, and stigma (a mark). Ticketless means without a ticket, but the word carries the echo of that old practice of using a physical stick as proof of entry.
