receipt

Usage Note

Ticket is an English loanword used in Spanish for both event tickets and store receipts, though entrada is the preferred native word for an admission ticket (cinema, concert, match) and recibo or tíquet for a receipt. The RAE accepts tíquet as the Hispanicized spelling. In practice, ticket (unadapted) appears widely in Latin America and Spain on signs and menus, especially in modern retail.

Examples

"Guarda el ticket para pedir un reembolso."

Natural Translation

Keep the receipt to request a refund.
