One way is to use FullGraphics. This turns the Tick marks into Text 
primitives. When combined in a GraphicsArray, the Ticks in both graphs are 
treated equally. You usually have to massage the PlotRange (and sometimes 
the GraphicsSpacing) so that you can see the Ticks.

{p1b, p2b} = FullGraphics/@{p1,p2}

Show[GraphicsArray[{p1b, p2b}],
   PlotRange->{{-0.05,2.05},{-0.05,0.6}},
   ImageSize->450]
