My wife heard the same thing except for she seemed to think that it
was a ticket good that was good forever. (Which isn't a bad deal for
both sides... That person has a free entrance for life and B&B will
have someone who will return several times - usually with paying customers.)

Can you recheck the article to see if it is one time or life time ?
