'Ticket' is a direct loanword from English. It is used very frequently in everyday German, especially in the context of travel and events.
Wo kann ich ein Ticket für den Bus kaufen?
Where can I buy a ticket for the bus?
For travel tickets and admission tickets, 'Ticket' is often combined with the verbs 'kaufen' (to buy), 'buchen' (to book), 'reservieren' (to reserve), or 'lösen' (to buy/get a ticket).
Wir sollten die Tickets für das Konzert bald buchen, bevor sie ausverkauft sind.
We should book the tickets for the concert soon before they sell out.
You can recognize the meaning 'Support-Anfrage' (support request) from the context. When the topic is 'IT', 'Support', 'System', or 'Problem', it usually refers to a case in a help system.
Können Sie für mein Anliegen bitte ein Ticket erstellen?
Could you please create a ticket for my issue?
In IT and service contexts, 'Ticket' is often used with verbs like 'erstellen' (to create), 'öffnen' (to open), 'bearbeiten' (to process/work on), and 'schließen' (to close).
Der Support-Mitarbeiter hat mein Ticket bereits bearbeitet.
The support employee has already processed my ticket.
case / fall
'der Fall' and 'das Ticket' can both refer in everyday work to a single matter that someone has to handle. 'der Fall' is more general: it can be any specific situation or matter. 'das Ticket' is used especially in customer service or IT when a request is recorded in a system. Learners may confuse the words because in support contexts people often talk about the same matter. 'Ticket' fits when there is a number, a system, and a processing workflow. 'Fall' also fits outside such systems.

Timo opens a new ticket so that IT can check the problem.
Nach der Pause erklärt der Kunde seinen Fall noch einmal genauer.
