I just read the following in a movie review of Panic Room: "it's a regular e-ticket ride. You know, I just realized that people will read the phrase "e-ticket" and assume I'm talking about getting airfare over the internet. How sad is that?"

Although I didn't think he was talking about internet airfares, I guess I skimmed over e-ticket --- I have no idea what that means - any help for me out there? Added twist: given the context (a humour site), he might just be taking the Mickey out of his readers.
