English Usage - admission, admittance.

Admission traditionally referred to the price paid for entry or the right to enter: admission was 5 pound. Admittance more often referred to physical entry: we were denied admittance by a large man with a forbidding scowl. In this sense of ‘permission or right to enter’, these words have become almost interchangeable, although admittance is more formal and technical.
