Not valid at all. There is no such rule. Connecting pax, airline club members, arriving pax (who want to hang around a while) may all use the sterile area without an onward boarding pass.

You were right - complete BS.

It is utter BS. You can have a BP issued at the gate or lounge if you've a connecting flight.

clearly, agent # 1 knew that you could be in the sterile area and get a BP issued at the gate. Agent # 2 either did not know or just wanted to be a jacka$$ - and like I had mentioned, #1 did try and talk him into letting me go to the gate.

I do have badge numbers (memorized it) but did not ask for their names. Guess I was felt a little intimidated into just getting the whole incident over and done with.
