Cultural Tip
In Spain ‘entrada’ is the most common word for a ticket, while in many Latin‑American countries you’ll hear ‘boleto’ more often. Both are interchangeable in this sentence. The phrase ‘a mitad de precio’ is informal but perfectly acceptable in everyday speech; in advertising you might also see ‘50 % de descuento’. Remember to match the article gender with the noun – ‘las entradas’, not ‘los entradas’.
