I understand where you're coming from, but your solution wouldn't actually be logical and consistent either. "Fahrschein" comes from the root "Schein" (engl. "slip (of paper)"), which is masculine ("der Schein"); "Fahrkarte" comes from "Karte" (engl. "card"/"map"), which is feminine ("die Karte"), and "Ticket" is, afaik, an anglicism (which are often designated as neuter)... So in order to achieve consistency across these three words, one would have to break consistency with their roots - a bit of a catch 22...
