Spanish term or phrase: la retirada de la entrada

Hello everyone,
This is an easy one, but I just wanted to make sure it sounded OK!
The sentence is taken from the rules of use for certain attractions in an interactive museum....the last part is:
"El incumplimiento de las presentes normas puede conllevar la retirada de la entrada y no acceder a la actividad."
I was thinking of something like:
"Failure to comply with these rules may lead to the ticket being withdrawn and exclusion from this activity."
Does "the ticket being withdrawn" sound OK?
Thanks,
Paul

ticket being confiscated

Explanation:
Failure to comply with these rules may lead to your ticket being confiscated and your being excluded from this activity. (since we like to be more direct in English than one would be in Spanish)

Explanation:
Just another possibility -- that strays somewhat from a literal translation, I admit.
