Onde compro?
Where do I buy (it)?
Language note: “Onde” = where. “compro” = I buy. You can point at the ticket machine and ask this.
Culture note: At stations, staff are used to tourists asking short questions—gestures + “Onde compro?” is totally fine.
Context: You’re not sure whether to buy online or at the station, so you ask where you can buy it.
