entry gate

Admission point barrier

An entry gate is a gate through which one enters a space—a stadium, amusement park, gated community, or secure facility.

The term emphasizes the gate's function as an access point rather than an exit: Ticket holders should proceed to entry gate B.

Entry gates often have mechanisms for controlling who passes through: turnstiles, card readers, or attendants checking credentials.
