Finavia states on their website that anyone is allowed to visit the lounge, even without a boarding pass. "Maksullisia loungepalveluita voivat käyttää saapuvien tai lähtevien matkustajien lisäksi kaikki lentoasemalla vierailevat, myös ilman ennakkovarausta."

PP as in Plaza Premium, not Priority Pass in this case so, okay not the best initials here 😁😁

Because if too many idiots start going to the lounge without flying surely they’re going to start requiring bp.

But according to Yrittaja's post above, they want paying customers regardless of travel plans. It's open for everyone visiting HEL.

So why anyone should buy FR ticket to get access to Premium Plaza Lounge at Arrivals T2 ?

I have a feeling we need more feedback from users experiences to see if a BP is or is not needed. But 5€bp will get you access to alot more then 3hrs at PP time will show, I am fairly certain a BP will be needed in the long run

They used to, but American Express did what it could to sever ties between Plaza Premium and Priority Pass.

Where Amex foots the bill, eventually Amex will come around to driving the lounge to ask for a boarding pass along with the applicable Amex when the lounge visitor is using the Amex card for "complimentary" access to a lounge.

Do they "partner" with euro cash and coins too, or is it a "cash-free" business?

That's not really a partnership as much as it is having contracted to have the means for accepting various forms of payment where the charges directly hit the account/holdings of the retail customer attempting to visit the lounge.
