I suppose that the only clean solution would be to come up with three
entirely new terms, and fix everything. But that might be prohibitive,
and cause excessive shock.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of quite the right metaphor to fit
these three pieces. "Ticket", in sense #1, is a bit of a misnomer, since
it is reusable, which real "tickets" for a plane or game, etc., are not.
"Ticket" in sense #3 is more accurate, but still misleading because "ticket"
suggests authorization as well.
So I would just as soon stay with Jerry's suggestion, with the possible
addition of a qualifier on the #1 type ticket, if someone thinks of a good
one, such as "raw ticket", "half ticket", etc.
