(Spoiler Alert) The ending…

I'm confused. Who was the old man who had the jacket and ticket at the end? Was he the guy from the opera backstage that promised to get the jacket for Béatrice? He said he was Grand Père Tulip, but I thought the guy at the end was someone different.

Anyhow, why would Tulip give away the ticket? I thought he was a criminal. I mean, he had the jacket taken from them at gun point in the first place.

What happened?
