Jegyeknél

Jegyeknél is a Hungarian locative form derived from the noun jegy (ticket) in the plural jegyek, combined with the locative suffix -nál/-nél. The word is used to indicate a location at or near a place where tickets are handled, such as a ticket counter, box office, or ticketing desk. It is commonly found in signs, directions, and everyday speech when specifying where tickets can be bought or collected.

In use, jegyeknél functions like other locative phrases in Hungarian. It emphasizes the area related to tickets rather than the broader venue. For example, A jegyeknél hosszú sor alakult ki translates to There is a long line at the ticket counter, and A jegyeknél lehet készpénzzel vagy bankkártyával fizetni means At the ticket counter you can pay with cash or by card. The form often appears in instructions or signage guiding people to the appropriate service point for ticketing.

Notes on nuance: while jegyeknél is correct and clear, speakers might prefer more common alternatives such as a pénztárnál (at the box office) or a jegyárusító helynél when referring to the place where tickets are sold. Jegyeknél is most likely to be used when the focus is explicitly on the ticketing area rather than the entire venue or event.
