I am trying to figure out how to say a phrase in French. I have used the translators, but I want to make sure this is the way you would say this in French. So this is the phrase in English "Buy the ticket, take the ride". If anyone could translate this into French for me that would be amazing.

Thanks

When you go to a fair and want to ride one of the attractions, you buy a ticket and take a ride.

If this is what you mean, the translation is : achetez un billet et prenez ( ou faites) le tour.

However there is another meaning possibly and that if you want to tell someone to dissapear or take a ride. Then the translation is: achètes-toi un billet ( such as a bus ticket)  et va faire un tour.

Why are looking for this translation?

It is a phrase used by Hunter S. Thompson, and I am working on a piece of art, that I want to include this phrase in french. 

The meaning of the phrase would be, To buy the ticket of life, and take the ride.

If you can explain to me what "buy a ticket of life" means, I think that I can translate. And what does it mean in English?

I think I can better explain it this way. If you are going to buy the bus ticket you might as well take the ride. 

"Buy the ticket, take the ride"
