That's what I think it is, but I could be wrong.

To be more precise, this is referring to the price of entry when there is no exhibition going on, since when there is one, the price naturally goes up.

"TTC" means all tax included, and it is a very basic acronym found on literally everything in France because of the tax on the added value ("TVA, taxe sur la valeur ajoutée" in French). It has nothing to do with the translation asked here.

neutral  B D Finch: I think this is most unlikely. The Palais is quite large enough to admit people for general visits even when there are exhibitions on, which would be charged for separately.
