How to reach the ticket machine location
Before you can obtain the achievement, you must progress through the DLC until reaching the section with the elevator puzzle.
The achievement area is located beyond the elevator sequence and the door that requires a triangular key. After accessing the new floor, you’ll find a corridor with several rooms.
The ticket machine is hidden inside a room accessed through a partially open door along this hallway, making it easy to run past if you are focused on progressing through the story.

Why players often miss this achievement
The ticket machine room is completely optional and sits off the main route. Most players move directly through the corridor without checking the partially opened doorway. Since the achievement only requires interacting with the machine for a short period, it is one of the quickest collectibles in the DLC once you know where to look.
The Just The Ticket achievement is a simple hidden collectible trophy in Little Nightmares III: The Backstage DLC. Reach the floor beyond the triangular key door, find the half-open room containing the ticket machine, and continuously hang from the lever until the achievement unlocks.
