Those flying into the great state of South Australia are a little confused as they’re given ‘Admit One’ paper tickets in the airport.
As part of security step, police are giving out the old school paper tickets to confirm the traveller is allowed to be in the airport and permitted into SA.
These were the ‘tickets’ that enabled our release from the #Adelaide Airport last night. Now off to do the first of our three #covid tests! 🦠 pic.twitter.com/8s0UNxdBRk

Despite the apps and paperwork, entry at the airport into South Australia in the age of COVID-19 came down to being issued with a Made in NZ ‘Admit One’ ticket. Like the movies. In the old days 😂 pic.twitter.com/ULZQKL2nWV

Travellers in the airport are presenting the circus-like tickets to authorities when asked and when going through checkpoints.
“Travellers hold on to the ticket while transiting through the airport so if they are challenged by anyone, they have proof that they have officially been processed and just need to produce that ticket,” a police spokeswoman said.
