You say 'Der Einlass ist um 20 Uhr' (Admission is at 8 p.m.), but 'Der Eingang ist links' (The entrance is on the left).
EXAMPLE
Wann ist der Einlass für das Festival?
When is admission for the festival?

Compare with
Einlass vs Zugang
access / entrance
'der Zugang' and 'der Einlass' can both mean that you get into a place. 'Zugang' is more general: it can refer to an entrance, a route, or also authorization to use something. 'Einlass' is often used for events, buildings, or controlled places when someone is let in. It often involves a time, a ticket, or a check. The words can be confused when it is about permission to go inside. For concerts, museums, or exams, 'Einlass' often sounds more natural; for routes or digital rights, 'Zugang' is more common.

Der Einlass zum Konzert beginnt um achtzehn Uhr.
