Hola--esta frase forma parte de la información sobre una estación de tren. A continuación dan el horario del servicio. Tienen "horario venta inmediata de billetes" y también "horario venta anticipada de billetes". Tengo ya el segundo ("Advance ticket sales"), pero: ¿qué puedo poner por "inmediato"?
Gracias de antemano.
Gracias de antemano.

(Tickets for) immediate departure/travel
Yes, I know I've left out "sales" but to include it makes it clumsy, and my refs don't feel the need to use it!
Can't afford to travel by rail in GB any longer, so I haven't seen any of the ticket offices there recently! Any comments from there?

: I like this one best. "Immediate ticket sales" makes it sound as if it's referring to the tickets rather than the departure of the train.

Comment: "Many thanks. I did, indeed, decide that this was the best "explanation" for the service (and I will use something like "ticket sales for immediate departure" even though it's true that the "sales" makes it a little bulky...but it has to describe a service. Well, I'll see, but it will be something like your suggestion!)"

: Ventas directas son las que hace la compañía directamente sin necesidad de una agencia interna que las venda. Las anticipadas también pueden ser directas . Mi humilde opinión

Ticket sales
La venta normal es eso--ticket sales, pero el ''advance ticket sales'' es otra cosa, totalmente differente..
Note from asker:
| Muchas gracias; de hecho, antes de preguntarlo aquí, puse simplemente "ticket window" en mi traducción, pero no contrasta suficientemente con "advance sales" para mi gusto. |

| Thank you for the suggestion; this was my first idea as well, but since you could buy a ticket instantly for departure another time, it doesn't contrast enough with "advanced sales" in my opinion. |

: Me parece correcto, lo de directo no lo comparto pues las anticipadas también pueden ser directas si las vende la misma compañía propietaria del negocio.
