I have a couple more random unused tickets sitting for over a year (from friends giving me a ride back home instead). I believe there should be some sort of exchange program.Tickets are good to other locations where the zones and fares are the same. For a more lengthy trip, you buy a ticket from where your ticket is valid to to your destination. If you buy it on the train there is no surcharge because you already have a ticket. You could save a little money by showing ID and filling out a form at any railroad ticket window and exchanging them for the same kind of ticket, where the fare is the same or higher.
This doesn't apply to MyTix; you activate it, and if you don't use is in two hours forty-five minutes, you loose your money. Tickets on the Erie lines can be more complicated due to non standard agreements with Metro North.
A ticket between SEC and Hawthorne is also valid from SEC to Short Hills, Millburn, Cranford and Linden, and intermediate stations on any line, perhaps the Atlantic City Line is excepted.
