Tickets are often referred to as "fei1" in Cantonese, such as "ce1 fei1" (train ticket), "jin5 coeng3 wui6 fei1" (concert ticket)and so on. It is said that the term "fei1" originated from the English word "fare," which means the fee of transportation. In the past, when taking public transportation in Hong Kong, one had to purchase tickets. Since "fare" sounds similar to "fei1," over time, "fei1" became a term used to represent tickets.

門票喺粵語多稱為「飛」，「戲飛」、「車飛」、「演唱會飛」等。而「飛」據說來自英文字詞fare（票價/交通費），以前喺香港搭公共交通工具都要買車票船票，fare同「飛」讀音相近，久而久之就用嚟表示門票。
