paper tickets
Physical admission slips
Paper tickets are physical tickets printed on paper, as opposed to digital or electronic tickets.
The term emerged as ticketing moved online—what was once simply a "ticket" now needs the modifier to distinguish it from e-tickets and mobile passes.
The venue still accepts paper tickets at the gate.
Airlines, concert venues, and transit systems increasingly phase out paper tickets in favor of digital alternatives.
