Tickets are vouchers that are intended to indicate that a person has paid for admission to a movie, theater, amusement park, museum, zoo, concert or other attraction. Tickets are also used to show that someone has permission to travel on public transit, and airplane, boat or train, etc., usually as in cases where the person had paid a fare to ride.

Tickets may be bought at a ticket counter or window, which is typically called the 'box office', over the phone or online using the internet. Tickets for concerts and other live events may indicate open general admission, or for a particular seat, such as A39.

Traditionally paper is the material on which tickets of all kinds are printed. Plastic also became quite popular for some types of tickets. Tickets sometimes include a barcode or magnetic strip used to keep data stored.

Oftentimes fake tickets are a big problem for concert promoters and other venue owners. One popular solution has been the incorporation of holographic images on the ticket face to further verify tickets as being legitimate. Very special tickets will almost always have holographic images, such as tickets of the Super Bowl, World Cups, Olympic Games and any other high profile event.

Sometimes tickets are used for free events or services where a order or queue must be constructed so that everyone may utilize a service in turn.
