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 season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“My trance frightens them,
breaks the dance,
empties the market-place;
if I but pass they fall
back, frantically.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
