Why do I have to pay a fee if I can only present my valid e-ticket or travel authorization (check-in) at a later date?

If you had a valid e-ticket or travel authorization at a ticket inspection but were unable to present it at the ticket inspection, your personal details will be recorded by the ticket inspection staff and you will be asked to go to a ticket counter later or to contact the back office. If the validity of your e-ticket or travel authorization can be subsequently confirmed at the time of the ticket inspection, you will only be charged a fee for the inconvenience. The fee is a minimum expense allowance (does not cover the actual expense).

If it is subsequently established that there was no case of travel without a valid or only partially valid ticket, the recorded data will be deleted immediately.
