I think it's a red dwarf reference.  They had an episode called tikka to ride.

Is that a TV show or movie?  Never heard of it.

Disneyland/world used to require purchasing tickets for its various rides which were graded with letters of the alphabet. The lower grade/less expensive rides had grades like C or D. Top of the line rides needed the more expensive E tickets. 
 

I believe they did away with that system many years ago and the Park admission price covers everything.

Yep.  The phase out started in '81 and completely replaced by the passport in '82.  You could cash in unused tickets when you left.  Or you could throw them in a drawer at home and bring them the next time you went, they didn't expire.
E tickets were for the really fun and most popular rides:
Also, unknown to many people, since they had a monetary value, you could combine lower value tickets to make a higher value ticket.  The photos are of tickets from various times so the cost printed on the tickets don't align well, but you could take, let's say a C and 3 A tickets to make up an E ticket.

British TV show.  Very silly spacefaring stuff.  I highly recommend it.

Instead of

“Shave and a haircut. Two bits,”

I’ve been singing to myself

”Frog on a sprinkler. Right now!”
