ticket gate
Station access point
A ticket gate is a barrier at the entrance to a transit station, stadium, or other venue that opens only when a valid ticket is presented.
Commuters pass through ticket gates by tapping a card or inserting a paper ticket: The ticket gates at the subway station were jammed during rush hour.
