There is a data base but they are not going to give you a refund unless
you physically present the ticket along with the ID valid for that ticket.
If you claim you lost the ticket, they would have to invalidate the
ticket in their system so it wouldn't work when you go through the
turnstyle, plus sometimes ...they have someone look at the ticket and just punch it, in that instance they would have no idea if its invalidated.
