Cultural Tip
In Brazil, buying tickets well in advance is common for popular concerts and festivals, and saying “Já comprei os ingressos!” often conveys confidence that the plan is set. The word ingresso is the standard term for tickets; bilhete is understood but sounds a bit old‑fashioned or is used more for transport tickets. Adding “já” emphasizes that the action is completed, which can reassure the listener that there’s no need to worry about availability.
