This simplistic description fails to point out that those return halves of tickets had been PAID FOR. Why shouldn't seats/ticket which have been paid for be used ?
It is as if I book and prepay for theatre tickets as Sandy Smith, and when I get there they say "oh, your credit card says MR A SMITH, you will have to pay again to sit in those seats". Which would be an obvious and outright fraud.
