1960's Mets Shea Stadium Tickets - written by hand?
Hello,
Ive come across some late 1960s Mets tickets for Shea stadium that are completed by hand, for example the section, seat and date of the game. Was this common? Can these tickets even be authenticated to the correct game if they were filled in by hand? Most seem to use a ball-point pen. thanks. |

I went to an early 90s KC Royals game with a ticket like that. Some sort of group discounted program. Not sure about the Mets.

Just wait for one with the actual date on it.
Written in ones have very little appeal, and very little re-sale value. 1960's Mets tickets are some of the most plentiful tickets out there. Be patient and persistent and you'll see your game again soon enough. |

Thank you. Good advice. Was the first time I had seen hand-written tickets. Last edited by philo98; 05-03-2021 at 05:14 PM. |

....or buy it, if cheap enough, as a placeholder until you find one that's dated.
I don't think PSA would slab that, but who knows, they'd slab a Walmart receipt if it made them money. Scott might now better, and may chime in. |

These are likely replacement tickets for lost tickets, perhaps from a season ticket holder.
When I worked for a MLB team they would issue replacement tickets to season ticket holders who lost their tickets. If the original tickets showed up which was usually someone who bought them off the street, the holder of the originals would be shown the door or encouraged to purchase another ticket as they had no rights to that seat for that game. |

I love that quote.
And, I like that ticket, too. Good day for the Mets, with 2 wins vs the Expos. I would be happy to find something like that in a scored program, and would prefer it to a printed ticket. But, I don't buy things for their resale value, so my tastes are different than some collectors. Last edited by doug.goodman; 05-04-2021 at 12:48 PM. |

I know one of the Mets tickets outlets did handwritten tickets. So I went thru my old scorecards. From 1976 to 1978 the A&S department store was an outlet. If I remember the procedure correctly you would give the person the date of the game you wanted to go to. They would call the Mets ticket office to find out what was available. Then they would write in what I decided on. It was a drawn out process if you wanted multiple games.

This is a bank ticket. It is legitimate. In the late 1960s and early 1970s you could purchase Mets tickets from a Bank. In this case, Manufacturer's Hanover Trust. In other years, Chase Bank. The employees from the Bank would handwrite the information on the tickets and put in the date.
