Get-in 入台
The British and Hong Kong word for load-in: the production arriving at the venue and going up. The same word also names the physical access route, so "what is the get-in like" is a question about the dock, the doors and the lift, not about the schedule.
中文
英式和香港說法的裝台：製作進場、把演出裝起來。同一個字也指實體進場路線，所以問「get-in 怎麼樣」是在問卸貨區、大門和貨梯，不是在問進度表。

Easy to get wrong
Get-in names both the process and the access route. A rider asking for get-in dimensions wants door and dock sizes, not a timetable.
香港的「入台」涵蓋整段進場期間，臺灣的「裝台」比較偏實際搭建的動作。
Get-in and fit-up are not the same. Fit-up is assembling the set; the get-in is the whole arrival.
