Reduced in price; cheaper than the regular price, often for certain groups of people.

'Ermäßigt' (reduced) is the past participle of the verb 'ermäßigen' (to reduce the price). It is very often used like a normal adjective before a noun or on its own.
Wir bieten für Gruppen einen ermäßigten Tarif an.
We offer a reduced rate for groups.
This adjective is almost always used in combination with things that have a price. Typical examples are 'ermäßigter Preis' (reduced price), 'ermäßigter Eintritt' (reduced admission), and 'ermäßigtes Ticket' (reduced ticket).
Gibt es für Kinder einen ermäßigten Eintrittspreis?
Is there a reduced admission price for children?
To indicate who gets the reduced price, the preposition 'für' (for) + accusative is used. This structure is very common.
Der Eintritt ist für Studenten und Rentner ermäßigt.
Admission is reduced for students and pensioners.
reduced / discounted
Reduziert and ermäßigt both refer to a lower price. Reduziert usually means a general price reduction, for example as part of a special offer, while ermäßigt is often tied to a specific group of people or a particular condition. So pay attention to whether all customers or only eligible people pay less.
