The Oyster card is tied to the Photocard number of the user, as is the paper

in this case, except for the main London Terminal(s) it would normally be
used at.

Why would they do this to a valid paper ticket?


It would prevent the use of what is effectively the same ticket by two
different people - Revenue Protection.

But he only has one ticket?


You may be interested to know that a Pre Pay Oyster (obviously one that
isn't also holding any sort of season ticket) will be completely
transferable; as an unvalidated carnet is now.
