The word is composed of 'der Eintritt' (admission, entry) and 'die Karte' (ticket, card). 'Eintritt' itself comes from 'eintreten' (to enter). An 'Eintrittskarte' is therefore literally a ticket that allows you to enter.

In the literal sense, 'Eintrittskarte' (admission ticket) is often used with verbs such as 'kaufen' (to buy), 'buchen' (to book), 'reservieren' (to reserve), or 'haben' (to have). The preposition 'für' indicates what the ticket is valid for.
