Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'admission' (payment for entry) + 'charge' (fee); together they transparently denote the fee required to enter. This noun-noun compounding pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically (e.g. 'entry fee'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Admission charge paints a simple picture: imagine a gate and a ticket seller, where you pay a small charge to get admission. That's why it means 'a fee that must be paid to enter' a place or event.
