die Freikarte, -n

free ticket

Definition & meaning

A Freikarte is a ticket that grants the holder free admission to an event or provides free use of a service that usually costs money. It is commonly used for cinema screenings, concerts, theater plays, museums, or sporting events. These tickets are often distributed as part of marketing campaigns, won in competitions, or issued as a courtesy to journalists, VIPs, or employees.

Grammar & Word origin

The word is a compound noun formed by two elements:

  1. frei : An adjective meaning "free" or "at no cost."
  2. die Karte : A noun meaning "ticket" or "card."

In German grammar, the gender of a compound noun is always determined by the last element. Because Karte is feminine, die Freikarte is also feminine. Its plural form is die Freikarten.

  • Antonyms: (purchased ticket), (paid card/ticket). Often, a regular (entrance ticket) is used as a functional opposite if it implies a standard purchase.
