Key Points
入場制限 = “admission restriction”
入場 means “entering” or “admission” (to a venue).
制限 means “restriction” or “limit”.
Together, 入場制限 refers to limiting the number of people allowed to enter, commonly used for crowded venues like amusement parks, concerts, or events.
Casual contractions: なんない and といー
なんない is the casual spoken form of ならない (negative of なる “to become”).
といー is the casual form of といい (“it would be good if / I hope”).
Full form would be: 入場制限とかならないといいけど.
とか adds vagueness (“or anything”)
とか after a noun means “things like” or “or something/anything”.
Here it shows Ai isn’t just worried about admission restrictions specifically, but that and similar problems.
Sentence-ending けど softens the statement
The けど at the end doesn’t mean "but" here; it’s a softening particle that shows concern or leaves the thought open.
Makes the statement sound less direct and more like casual worry shared with friends.
