Our definition of the other side may differ, but one thing is common to all, it is a place we are not in presently.
The other side can be a place of craving for some, probably because they have an appointment or there is something waiting there for them.
To go to the other side, there is a price to pay, which is your ticket. The ticket is not in any way literal but it is symbolic to what we pay for us to go to the other side. Just like boarding a train, your ticket is checked when the train is on the move, so it is a must you pay for the ticket if you want to go to the other side.
