I would tend to agree with Scotty on this as well. If the ticket is very scarce, staple holes will minimally affect value.

If the ticket is abundant, collectors will tend to seek out the better example. If they buy one with staple holes, they tend to want to find it at a discount.
For example, in this situation I would estimate that it would reduce value by 20% or more depending on if there are two very small staple holes in a place that isn't too obvious on the ticket, vs. multiple staple holes (4-6).
