ticket-holders

Those with passes

Ticket-holders are people who possess tickets to an event—a concert, sporting match, flight, or lottery.

The term appears in announcements and policies: Ticket-holders may begin boarding at gate 12, All ticket-holders must show valid ID.

It emphasizes the credential rather than the person: not fans or passengers, but those with proof of purchase.
