Season Pass refers to a ticket attainable at most amusement parks allowing admission to the park multiple times during a certain period - usually a year. Season passes also are issued by ski areas.
Season Passes also gain access to theme parks like Six Flags and Cedar Fair. These passes allow you to enter the park many times as you want for the whole entire year. Some passes allow you to get free (or prepaid for the duration of the pass) parking, and free coupons to what non-holders couldn't do.
Season Pass can also refer to the term coined by the manufacturers of the TiVo personal video recorder for their function which allows a user to program the device to record all of the episodes of a series, even if their airings are rescheduled or pre-empted.
Also, season passes are used in certain video games. When bought, this allows the owner to get all future DLC's of a game (provided it has a pass) for a one-time fee. Also, some passes have unique names, one example is Max Payne 3's pass, which has the name 'Rockstar Pass.'
Similar functions are available on competitive 'PVR' systems and software packages such as ReplayTV and IceTV.
Seasons Passes are often available for sporting events too.
Famous quotes containing the words season and/or pass:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But I go with my friend to the shore of our little river, and with one stroke of the paddle, I leave the village politics and personalities, yes, and the world of villages and personalities behind, and pass into a delicate realm of sunset and moonlight, too bright almost for spotted man to enter without novitiate and probation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
