ticket taker
Gate entrance employee
A ticket taker is someone stationed at an entrance to collect or verify tickets—at a movie theater, concert venue, train platform, or sporting event.
The job involves checking that patrons have valid admission: The ticket taker tore my stub and pointed toward screen three.
The role is often entry-level or part-time.
