Is there a way to start a match if only one ticket is matching and satisfies matchmaking rules?

If I've understood correctly from other questions - matchmaking will only match if two tickets are searching regardless of the number of players in the ticket.

However, it seems a little counter-intuitive that players wouldn't be able to start a match with a single ticket if their party size satisfied the minimum match size and I just wanted to check if there are any work arounds for this within PlayFab

Matchmaking system needs at least 2 tickets to find a match.

If you want to start the game with one ticket, you can use Multiplayer Server - Request Multiplayer Server - REST API (PlayFab Multiplayer) | Microsoft Learn to start the game directly. And then you can follow Using server backfill tickets - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn to match additional players.
