Biglietto
Biglietto is the Italian word for ticket, and biglietteria is the ticket office. On Rome museum websites the word covers everything from a paper ticket to a QR code bought online.
Example
At the Colosseum the biglietteria sells only what is left after online sales, so the word on the sign does not mean tickets are available there.
