1. Gate arrangement, comprising:
a first passage barrier having a first gate body and a second gate body arranged adjacent to the first gate body, wherein the first gate body and the second gate body define a first passage between a controlled area and an uncontrolled area, and having at least one first barrier element movable by at least one first actuator between an open position and a closed position,
wherein the second gate body comprises at least one first reader module configured to capture a ticket medium held by a user within range of the first reader module, wherein the at least one first actuator is configured to move the first barrier element between the open position and the closed position based at least on a validation verification of the detected ticket medium,
at least one second passage barrier having a third gate body and a fourth gate body arranged adjacent to the third gate body, wherein the third gate body and the fourth gate body define a second passage between the controlled area and the uncontrolled area, and having at least one second barrier element movable by at least one second actuator between an open position and a closed position,
wherein the fourth gate body comprises at least one second reader module configured to capture a ticket medium held by a user within range of the second reader module, wherein the at least one second actuator is configured to move the second barrier element between the open position and the closed position based at least on a validation verification of the detected ticket medium,
wherein the second gate body of the first passage barrier is the third gate body of the second passage barrier,
wherein the gate arrangement further comprises a monitoring system having
at least one first sensor equipment at least configured to detect a user in a first access area of the first passage barrier and to detect a user in a second access area of the second passage barrier,
at least one detection device configured to detect an assignment error state at least if, upon detecting of the ticket medium by the first reader module of the first passage barrier, a user is detected at least almost simultaneously by the first sensor equipment only in the second access area, and
at least one control device configured to initiate at least one assignment error action upon a detection of the assignment error state.
