    To be fair, this is probably just a bad translation / bad phrasing.

    I expect what they mean by this is “to continue without signing up”

    It’s a pretty common pattern on ecommerce sites. You can sign in with an account, or you can make a one-time purchase without an account.

    And of course if you don’t have an account they still need somewhere to send the confirmation (and in this case, probably send the tickets)

          The reality is they probably used one of the frameworks to generate both the app and mobile website from the same code because it’s easier. So it’s not taking advantage of the fact it’s actually installed on a phone.

      Lots of options that don’t involve collecting data:

      “Print your ticket at home.” “Scan this QR code to load the ticket in an app.” “Here’s an e-ticket barcode you can show at the station.” “Here is your PIN to access the ticket.”

      And so on.
