It seemes that portakeys only work at spcific times (the 7 past 5 from stoadshead) and remember how they are all standing around while Mr W or Mr D (forget who) counts to second down to 7 past 5. And, given that at the World cup they were being thrown away once they had been used at the world cup they do seem like a single ticket. that aside it must have been a deluxe portakey to work at any old time (like an all day ticket)

  Okay, I can help you here, because this bugged me too. In Barty Crouch's confession under the Veritaserum, he says he had to "turn the cup into a portkey, which would take the first person to touch it to my master." I presume it's a variant of the portkey spell. I also presume that built into the portkey spell is the return. Remember, the World Cup portkeys also took everyone home, presumably at a specific time. So the function of the spell is "Take/Return", but you can specify the details--time, touch, etc. The Triwizard Cup was set to
  "Take/Return" at a touch, didn't matter whose. And I believe somewhere it says it was supposed to return Voldemort to Hogwarts, newly raised and rarin' to go.
