Train tickets per person

If I have a group of nine people and we decide to take public transportation over renting two cars,
1. Does everyone need their own credit card to tap on tap off?
2. Do we still buy tickets if going between cities?

Hi. From our experience last summer...
1. Yes, to tap on and off, each person needs their own card, because that's how the system identifies you. Tap on and off is very easy and convenient.
2. If you are taking a train anywhere within the Netherlands, you don't need to buy a ticket. Tapping on and off is your 'ticket'. If you are going outside of the Netherlands (e.g. Amsterdam to Brussels), you can't tap on and off; in that case you need to buy a ticket.

I am taking a group of four teens, four parents, and myself (9 total)
( from OP's other post)

I suspect the teens may not have credit cards. What is the work around?
