Be careful not to confuse '입장권' with '티켓' (ticket), which is a loanword and often used interchangeably but can sometimes sound more casual. '입장권' emphasizes the right or permission to enter.
When using '입장권', it implies official permission to enter a place or event, so it is not used for general transportation tickets like bus or subway tickets.
