Architectural Question ...

Sorry if this is a bit newbie ..

This is my hypothetical scenario:

I have a client process that authenticates to the KDC.
I get a TGT as part of that transaction I think.
I go back to the TGS with my TGT and get a ticket to access some service.
Now that service ticket should be encrypted with a key that the service 
for which it was issued also possesses.
So does the service need to contact a KDC to validate the ticket when it 
receives my call?
If so, why? Doesn't it possess the key required to decript the token in 
the ticket?

Thanks in advance.

Tc.
