(US, slang, possibly, _, dated) A complimentary ticket, a free ticket; a comp.

Origin: Many complimentary tickets had holes punched in them to prevent recipients from reselling them; in this way, they resembled the playing cards that sharpshooter Annie Oakley shot holes in as part of her act, and so were named after her. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
