Sigh .. and I'm french ..
A ticket wicket.
A wicket is a small office or gate where you get tickets.
For example, when you go to the race you go to the wicket
to place your bets.  When you go to the theathers you
obtain your ticket from a wicket counter.

In french you can translate it to a "guichet".
