How locals really say it

Not the textbook version — the real language you hear in Italian.

“Buongiorno! Quanti biglietti?” — Good morning! How many tickets?
“Quanti ne fa?” — How many are you getting?
“Ha riduzioni? Studente, over 65?” — Any reductions? Student, over 65?
“Si chiude alle sei, eh, ultimo ingresso alle cinque.” — We close at six, last entry at five.
