|name = Electrono-Ticket Machine
|desc = Loiterers? Nope. Service Industry leeches? No way! With the Electrono-Ticket Machine by Charge-A-Tron you can control the visitors to your lot with style. The Electrono-Ticket Machine contains a 40,000 Watt Brainwave Dampener that can shut down a conscious thought in mere nanoseconds, making it so visitors to your lot can't perform even the most basic actions without paying first. Unfortunately, Brainwave Dampening technology only goes so far - if there's nothing decent on your lot, people will leave or not pay at all. Bummer! Use the Electrono-Ticket Machine to turn any lot into a business. Sims who show up to a lot with an Electrono-Ticket Machine will pay to spend time there if the lot is appealing to them.
The '''Electrono-Ticket Machine''', sometimes referred to as the '''Bandatron''',<ref>http://modthesims.info/t/513282</ref> is an object in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]''. The machine can be used on [[Business#Venues|owned businesses]], allowing the owner to charge Sims for staying on the lot.
To set up the ticket machine, the owner (or a member of the owner's household) must set a price for the machine and then start charging customers with it. Any potential customer that comes in will stop at the machine and decide whether or not they will come in. If the price is too high, or if there are too few motive-satisfying objects on the lot (such as [[arcade game]]s), they are less likely to enter. The machine works similarly to [[Buying and selling|selling an item]], except the idea of staying on the lot for a period of time is what's being sold. Once the sale is made, the customer will grab a ticket from the machine and enter the business. While there, they will be periodically charged the ticket price.
If a venue has a [[stove]], it is best to put it behind doors that are locked so only household members and employees can enter, as customers may autonomously use the stove and occasionally leave food on the stove or in the oven, which can lead to an unwanted [[fire]]. If the player wants the venue to serve food, they can either build a [[restaurant]], or have a household member cook the food in the kitchen, enter Buy mode, and move the platter outside of the kitchen. Customers that are hungry enough will autonomously grab food from it.
If a [[date]] takes place on a lot with the ticket machine on it, the date may autonomously go over to the ticket machine. [http://cyjon.net/node/92 This mod] prevents the date from doing so, and both the selected Sim and the date will be paid for when the selected Sim buys a ticket.
