No slot comps, no food voucher. You get 2 $25 match plays, which have a cash value of approximately $23, so you are +EV by traveling ($15 ticket price, plus $2 "tip" they collect when you buy the ticket), but you have to gamble.
The ticket agent ("hostess") is in front of the White Swan Bakery (Bowery between Pell and Bayard) about one hour before the bus leaves. The bus actually picks up and departs from Division Street. I think the bus sells out quickly on weekends; I have had difficulties trying to reserve a seat by phone (language problem).
