I would probably not use either type of staple remover on this. I think I would use a pair of needle nose pliers. The staples are so close to the ticket and that is very stiff plastic. You may wind up bending the ticket. With the pliers you could straighten out the crimped part then, while holding it down, flip it over and either pull out with your fingernails or a screwdriver. One staple at a time, of course.
I also agree that they are not that uncommon. I have seen more than a few over the years. There are currently 4 or more on ebay and one on abebooks.
