Tickets can be purchased at ticket offices or TVMs. They accept credit cards, coins and rarely cash. To buy a tourist pass (1 day to 1 week) you will have to show your passport or ID. Passing through the turnstile you have to insert the pass into it, then take it back on the other side with a pass-used mark on it. Keep the ticket throughout the ride.
