n. The male and female variant nicknames for Ticket listeners. The male version recently changed from "Tickhead" presumably to avoid confusion with a less savory word.

The idea itself was a good one, the execution, though, was HUGELY flawed. 10 or 100 times the needed calanders were printed, making them almost worthless. To top it off, the photography, printing and layout of it was so bad, it prompted the on-air remarks (and the began the myth) about how tore up the Ticket Chicks were.
