Look on the bright side. It's faster to go out the non-Metcard gates than it
is to go through the barriers (assuming there's an open gate in your 
direction).

My ticket has just died too, with two weeks left to live. It's nice to have
an excuse to throw at the Gestapo when they accost you for not re-validating
your ticket prior to boarding a train...
