[0019]

According to the present invention, the use of the same lift ticket is prohibited until a predetermined time elapses after passing through the gate, so that a group member can pass the same ticket from a gate passer to a non-passer. It is possible to prevent improper traffic such as all the friends passing through the gate by turning sequentially in a short time.

Further, even when a plurality of gate devices are provided in parallel, the personal computer or the like shared by the plurality of gate devices has the number data of the lift ticket that has passed through the gate within a predetermined period going back in the past. Since the personal computer is inquired via the communication line whether the number of the lift ticket is included in the shared number data, it is illegal for a group member to pass through multiple gates in a short time with the same lift ticket. Traffic can be prevented.

Further, since the gate passing time is recorded in the lift ticket, it is necessary to set up a system for inquiring the number data of the lift ticket via the communication line as described above even when a plurality of gate devices are provided. Therefore, the cost and control load of the system can be reduced.
