What a fascinating concept to think about: A vector ticket price.
If it existed, then you could get together with a friend, you could buy a north ticket
and he could buy a south ticket to the same show, and if you pooled your tickets
and shared the costs, you'd both have free tickets!
Can't be done. Cost is a scalar quantity.
Your first tip-off is: The cost is always quoted as only a number, never with
a direction attached to it.

Yes, the cost of a ticket is a scalar quantity because it only has a magnitude (numerical value) without any direction.
A scalar quantity is something that only has magnitude and no direction. Any physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force, cannot be a scalar quantity.
No, mass is not a scalar quantity. It is a scalar quantity. Scalars have only magnitude and no direction.
No, mass and energy are not scalars. Mass is a scalar quantity while energy is a scalar quantity.
Pressure is a scalar quantity. It is defined as the force per unit area and only has magnitude, not direction.
No, acceleration is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
