What is a "ticket"?

A ticket is a small paper or electronic pass that allows a person to travel on a bus, train, or other forms of public transportation, or to attend an event, such as a concert or sports game. It shows that the person has paid the required amount for entry or travel. Tickets often include details like the date, time, and location, and they help organizers or transportation services keep track of who is traveling or attending. Passengers or attendees are usually required to show their ticket before entering or boarding.
