You’re correct. When you try to enter next the turnstile will error out with “see agent”. That’s when they fix your card and peel the sticker off. Which highlights the total ridiculousness: they’re asking riders to see an agent twice!

Even worse: they're asking NON-riders to see an agent twice

Ergo, affected passengers need to see infinite number of agents for each trip taken.

Presumably on the second entry you will be riding the train.

Maybe, but the number of times you need to see an agent is still 2x the number of failed ride attempts.
