The fundamental reason is that the card processors insist that the
inital setup transaction is processed in the same way as the ongoing
transactions (that is, as a Customer Not Present transaction using CVV
and address checking), and it isn't practical to carry out this type
of transaction at a ticket office.

So why not at a ticket machine, if not the counter itself. Or does that
fail the "customer not present" test because they have a PIN pad?

It's still regarded as a Customer Present transaction, and AVS & CVV
checking is even less practical at a ticket machine.

Would a NR barrier or DLR style fixed pad be both sufficiently online
and sufficiently customer not present?
