I purchased a (main) cabin ticket for Madonna's concert, not a front stage ticket
Uso em contexto:
"... get a Main Cabin ticket that allows you to pick a seat assignment upon purchase."
Nos EUA, show é normalmente chamado de concert.

Sim, Cybeles, aqui nos compramos "seats" para o teatro, mas "ticket" também se usa quando se trata de um show..., bem que "pista" normalmente é um corridor que nao tem assentos...

Note from asker:
| Seria possível traduzir "pista" neste contexto como "standing room ticket"? |

: Yes, except the "pista" tickets are usually standing up, not seated.

Richard Purdom
: this is simple conversational English, why is it translated literally? If you read the whole sentence, the speaker didn't actually buy a box ticket anyway, and the important bit is that nobody wanted to know about the complaint.

A) why did this get past the moderators? B) why is everyone posting "agrees" when 3 out of 4 of you don't fully agree?!
