I did this with a 7 day rover ticket and it did get very worn along the folds towards the end of the week. Half way through the week I removed it from the plastic wallet and kept it folded in my ordinary wallet instead because the ink was beginning to wear and smudge.Sure you can fold the ticket (though folding it in half is insifficient, thirds might just be enough if you are good at getting the folds in the right place, four parts is more likely in practice), but if you do that then it dramatically slows down the process of showing the ticket and means that every time you show the ticket you are subjecting it to a bunch of wear and tear. Bad enough for a regular ticket that is likely to be shown 0-4 times, but seems like a disaster for a ranger/rover/season ticket.
I think the problem was it was very hot weather and the ticket was beginning to stick to the plastic of the wallet and when I tried to remove it fragments of the ink were sticking to the plastic.
