Significado
To purchase a pass for travel or an event.
Contexto cultural
In many German cities, you must 'entwerten' (validate) your ticket in a small machine on the platform before boarding. Buying it is not enough! The word 'Billet' is much more common than 'Ticket' or 'Fahrkarte'. Similar to Germany, but you might hear 'Fahrschein' more frequently in official announcements in Vienna.
