I don't know why they'd ask for a boarding pass, as unlike the American Express Platinum/Centurion access benefit, Priority Pass lounge access does not require a same-day flight on the carrier operating the lounge. As long as you can get yourself to the club entrance, you can get in with a Priority Pass.

boarding pass or Amex?
I have the highest level PP thru Plat Amex. I was asked for my boarding pass at one of the lounges at LHR (can't recall which one, T3, upstairs, pretty small, Iberia maybe?) recently and duly handed it over, but I thought afterwards that according to Amex, I needed only show my PP and Plat card. I wasn't asked to show the Amex at all.

I really am glad I was not there when you showed your PP, disgusting.

I've used priority pass around asia and every time i've been asked for my boarding pass, which they verify my name against.
Also it is often the case that lounge rules say you can only use the lounge for x hours, or x hours before your flight, so often they need to check when you flight is.
