French event ticket quiz: admission, discounts and re-entry

Edited by Chris Lee · Updated · About the library

Answer twelve questions using a French concert ticket’s terms: opening times, student and age discounts, children’s tickets, identity checks and re-entry.

In short

For an event ticket, check who can use it, when entry closes and what a return requires. Tarif réduit means a concessionary price; sortie définitive means you cannot come back. Apply the printed terms below to twelve visitor situations.
