They all have two words missing, and if that is corrected, only the first is right: I suggest that you keep your ticket in your hand so that you can show it to the ticket inspectors quickly at the exit. If you want to use the wordy and unnecessary "in order to", maybe: I suggest that you keep your ticket in your hand in order to show it to the ticket inspectors quickly at the exit. A more succinct version is: I suggest that you keep your ticket in your hand to show to the ticket inspectors at the exit.

Technically, none of them.

However, if you include 'you' after 'that' and 'it' before '...to the ticket inspectors', then sentence 1 would be the most natural way of saying it.
