ticket vending machine

Automated pass seller

A ticket vending machine is an automated kiosk that sells tickets—for transit, parking, events, or attractions—without requiring a human attendant.

Users typically select options on a touchscreen, then pay with cash or card: The ticket vending machine at the station was out of order, so I had to find a booth.
