Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'ingresso' is the most common word for event tickets, while 'bilhete' is used for transport (bus, train) or a simple entry pass. Prices are usually quoted per ticket, so you’ll often hear the singular form (quanto custa o ingresso?) even when buying for a group. Be aware of regional variations: in Portugal, people often say 'bilhete' for both events and transport.
