Morphology
The meaning 'a person who possesses a ticket' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'ticket' (a document for admission) with 'holder' (one who possesses something). This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common and predictable across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Ticket holder comes from the simple image of a holder with a ticket, a small paper or pass that gives the person the right to enter or travel. So a ticket holder means 'a person who has a ticket'.
