It depends on how exactly the ticket was shipped.

In many cases, the email simply has graphics, and a dot code or bar code 
which the scanner reads directly from the phone display. Printing the 
email should also work.

In some other cases, the ticket is attached in PDF form. You can print 
it, or simply display the PDF so that the scanner reads the dot-code.

In some cases, the email contains an attachment which is "shared" with a 
compatible application, one of which is "Google Wallet". You obviously 
need to install Google Wallet first. I have also used PassWallet, which 
I prefer as it doesn't depend on the cloud, but sometimes it is not up 
to me the choice.

In this case, in the email you should say to share or open the 
attachment with some other app, which would be the ticket app, which 
normally can save the ticket internally for easier/faster access at the 
turnpike.
