Rick[2] is formerly the ticket salesman for Bijou Cinema and currently the local Burger King store manager.
Background
Rick first appeared in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut when the boys try to get into the cinema to watch Asses of Fire. The operator tells them they need an adult with them, so they pay a homeless guy to let them in.
Rick's most prominent appearance is in "The Passion of the Jew". In this episode, he lets Kyle watch The Passion of the Christ as he believes it is an important film that everyone should watch. He later joins Cartman's rally to kill all the Jews (believing, along with the others that it is a rally to celebrate the movie). He, along with the others, lose their faith in Mel Gibson after seeing what a lunatic he really is.
In "Handicar", a different ticket operator is seen, suggesting that the original ticket operator left or was fired. In "Let Them Eat Goo", he is seen working at Burger King.
Appearance
Rick wears the standard ticket operator uniform, which consists of a white jacket under a red vest. He also wears a thin black tie, dark blue pants, and black shoes. He has black hair that forms a widow's peak and is usually seen inside the ticket booth. Rick seems to be underweight.

Personality
Rick seems very dedicated to his job, not letting the boys watch an R rated movie in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, and mocking the New Kid for not being allowed to see Asses of Fire 2 in South Park: The Stick of Truth. His attitude changes in "The Passion of the Jew" when he lets Kyle watch The Passion even though he's underage.

Video Games
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Rick is seen when the New Kid goes to Bijou Cinema. He tells the kid he can't see Asses of Fire 2 as he is underage, and continually points it out and mocks them for it. He later becomes a zombie but is not fought.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Whenever the New Kid fights Chaos Minions outside the theatre, Rick will stay in his booth and make fun of the New Kid's costumes and special effects.
Trivia
- Matt Stone has stated that he feels that the booth operator is the same as the Squirt Scout Master seen in Jewbilee as they have a similar design and have the same voice. This Scout Master was named Schlomo. However, it was confirmed in "Let Them Eat Goo" that the Ticket Guy is called "Rick" so they are not the same person.
