It is not permissible to sell the agency while continuing to pay off an interest-based loan, because that involves cooperation in sin.
Zakat is obligatory on tickets or their monetary value if they reach the nisab (threshold) and a hawl (full lunar year) passes over them. The Zakat rate is 2.5% of their value. As for devices, furniture, and buildings, there is no Zakat due on them.
