tickets
What would be the best work for tickets?

My spanish friends say that you can say tickets, the dictionary says boletos. Who is right?

Re: tickets
"Boletos" sounds american Spanish. Here in Spain it would be "entrada/s".

Re: tickets
En México, es común oír "boletos", pero también se entiende entradas y aún tickets... pero ticket normalmente se refiere a un recibo o comprobante de compra.

Re: tickets
I just found "tique" is correct (although I've never heard it used):

Quote:
tique
(Del ingl. ticket)
1. m. Vale, bono, cédula, recibo.
2. m. Billete, boleto.
Also, certain uses (like "parking ticket") have their specific words ("multa (de aparcamiento)")

Re: tickets
Interesting, was tique in the RAE? In Mexico they often spell it "ticket".

Re: tickets
Yes, that's where I got those definitions from, the RAE online dictionary.

Re: tickets
Is "entradas" a common way to say tickets? Would it be understood everywhere?
