Entrada means a ticket or admission in this context; puertas refers to the doors. Door-opening time and performance start time can differ.
Asiento is a seat; una zona de pie is a standing area. Tocar means to play music in ¿Quién toca primero?
Ask ¿Se puede…? or ¿Está permitido…? about venue rules instead of assuming that photography, recording or outside drinks are allowed.
