Many reasons. Most are difficult to take off, so as Doc said, laziness. In addition to what he said:
- Same reason people collect anything - baseball cards, bottles... they just do.
- Many resorts use RFID which means the tickets get reused every time they go up.
- Sometimes the tickets/cards are tied to other things and may even have cash value on them like a gift card
I have tickets on my snow pants that are from 10+ years ago. I think the first few years were laziness... and I guess the rest have been as well. Lift tickets have changed so much over the years some of them are very "old school."
