French term or phrase: à billet majoré
Here is the sentence:

Tout visiteur d’exposition “à billet majoré” doit présenter son billet ou titre au contrôle des billets et respecter la date et l’horaire inscrit sur son billet.

They are discussing admissions policies and procedures, discounted tickets, etc.

I know what they are saying, I just can't think of how we would say this in English. It seems to be about admission into special exhibitions at an additional charge. This term seems to be describing the exhibition itself, not the admission. Can't think of a word for this.

Thanks!

Visitors of an exhibition where visitors can buy upgraded tickets, for instance, to be allowed to take photos, etc. If you do a basic search, you will find examples of what Chakib and I suggested.

Asker: I disagree. The term does not concern the ticket. It concerns the exhibition: "exposition “à billet majoré”". I am sure that we wouldn't say "visitors of an upgraded-ticket exhibition."

for which an additional charge applies


Explanation:
Or "requiring a special ticket".
From the context, I can't see any other possible meaning, though this may be an unusual way of expressing it. They've also managed to cram four "billets" into one sentence.
If this is a French museum you may want to ask them whether they want British or American English, ie exhibition or exhibit.

Asker: I like "requiring a special ticket." What would you think about a "special admittance exhibit"? Also, American English is requested. Thanks Phil!

Asker: Yes!!! Excellent Alison, that is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. In fact, I found several examples of a "special ticketed exhibition" online on museum websites.

For example, sold-out concert or sporting-event tickets may be sold at a premium, at a price above their face value, in the secondary market.

Asker: Haha! I almost jumped all over you until I saw your note, Francois! "Premium" is an intriguing direction. That might work.

neutral  B D Finch: I'd considered posting that very answer, but the term seems to be used more for sports events where premium tickets give access to special facilities, refreshments etc.// In your link, it's a company name and they seem to use "premium" to mean "prestige".
4 hrs
  -> In the US (see the attachment), the expression is used for any show or spectacle.// Read the economic definition of a premium ticket in a secondary market.
