Komsomol travel ticket (Russian: Комсомольская путёвка, Komsomolskaya putyovka) was a document of Komsomol mobilization that was given out in the Soviet Union by district committees of Komsomol directing its member to temporary or permanent shock construction projects (udarnyie stroiki) or military service. The travel ticket appeared sometime after adaptation of the Soviet Labor Code as a type of organizational mobilization.
During the 10th five-year plan with those travel tickets to the shock construction projects arrived over 500,000 young volunteers. Komsomol organizations formed and directed 100 All-Union squads consisting of 80,000 people.
At the construction sites travel tickets recipients were earning labor days (Russian: трудодни, trudodni) which were granted depending on a type of work was performed.
