How it's used
Originating from the English word fare, this term has become the standard way to refer to any kind of admission or transport ticket in daily life. It is far more common than the formal term 門票, which is usually reserved for printed materials or official announcements. You can use it for everything from cinema seats and concert entry to bus or train fares.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the verb 飛, which means to fly or to dump someone in a relationship. Context is key, as the noun is almost always preceded by a verb like 買 or 攞.
