This here is from 1967, so the glue might be a little better.
Has anyone tried removing the scrapbook paper off the back of a Ticket? and a more modern one at that.
Also, while most people soak, would heating work? Say using a blow-dryer getting the glue hot enough where it become liquidy? Or not a chance?

I run into this problem all the time , DO NOT STEAM OR SOAK IN WATER
they will curl up like a banana and be ruined , what I do is lightly scrape away at the top surface of the scrapbook paper at an angle with a razor blade or very sharp thin bladed knife , a lot of the time little chunks paper will just peel off , do not dig in to the paper , I have done this numerous times with excellent results , with hardly any visible scrapbook paper left, and only minimal scuffing of the ticket and marginal if any paper loss.
practice on an unimportant ticket first if you have one , I have it down to a science with a 9 out of 10 success rate
