"Ticket Outta Loserville" is the lead single from British pop punk band Son of Dork's debut and only studio album, Welcome to Loserville (2005). Released on 7 November 2005, two weeks prior to the album, the single peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart as well as reaching number 15 in Ireland.
The video for the song was directed by Ulf Buddensieck. The band is performing in a garage, and the story is each of them going out with a girl and being popular. It then ends up with the girl being seen with one of the school football team players. There is also an adult version, while they are singing the final chorus, which sees a woman with no bra on underneath some pom-poms. The girl then removes the pom-poms, exposing her breasts.
