दो टिकट चाहिए

Walk up to the counter and say it clearly. You do not need a long preamble. Hindi often drops the subject 'I' (Mujhe) in quick transactions. Just say the phrase and wait for the price. If you want to be extra polite, add ji at the end. It sounds like Do ticket chahiye, ji. It is efficient and prevents long queues from getting restless.

Use it at the cinema for the latest Bollywood blockbuster. Use it at the metro station when traveling with a friend. It works at monuments like the Taj Mahal or local bus stands. It is perfect for any face-to-face transaction involving entry. Even when texting a friend who is buying tickets, this works perfectly.

Do not use this if you are buying something that isn't a ticket. You wouldn't use it for two apples or two shirts. Also, avoid using it in very high-end, formal settings without adding please. In a luxury concierge setting, a full sentence is better. If you are alone, obviously change do to ek (one). Don't be that person buying two tickets for a solo trip!

In India, the 'ticket window' is a place of high energy. People are often pushing and shouting to get their turn. Being concise is a survival skill here. The use of the English word 'ticket' shows how deeply English has blended into Hindi. You will rarely hear the pure Hindi word pravesh patra in real life. Everyone just says 'ticket'.

If you want to be more specific, add the destination. You could say Delhi ke liye do ticket (Two tickets for Delhi). For a movie, try Spider-Man ke liye do ticket. If you are feeling extra polite, start with Bhaiya (Brother) to build a quick rapport with the clerk. It makes the transaction feel more personal and less like a robotic exchange.
