On the Metro you scan going in and out of the turnstiles with your pass/ticket. If the ticket is not valid at that time, it will just spit it back out. So my guess is that it should be at least 9:30 before you can scan your pass entering through the turnstile.

Of course there is always a chance that the ticket is really good at 9:30ish, so the 9:25 may still work.

TIA!
