I did not understand that about tickets.
    
Tickets are used similar to session cookies. When a network
element X opens the initial channel to Y, it sends a message
"HELLO, I am X and here is your ticket YtoX for contacting me".
Yes and tickets usually have an expiration time/date (a date is part of the ticket and the whole thing is digitally-signed to prevent tampering) in order to address the man-in-the-middle attacks to which you alluded before.
