What am I missing here?

Gary,
I'm assuming that the pass was issued as a complimentary pass (friend of the owner, etc.) but legally certain taxes/fees still needed to be collected.
BTW, complimentary annual passes are not super unusual as I have seen others from other teams as well.

When I do settlements at concerts I often need include taxes due on the complimentary tickets that were issued for the show as an expense.

Just picked this one up. Career win number 160 for Catfish Hunter.

Here are two pickups of rather pedestrian tickets. Well they aren’t pedestrian to me. As stated earlier 1971 Houston and San Diego Stubs are very difficult to come by. In five years these are the only two I have added to my collection. The seller of the Padres stub has since sold two other 1971 Pirates at San Diego stubs. I was an under bidder on both. The prices were so ridiculous even though I needed them I couldn’t justify spending the money. I included a screenshot of that silliness.

Ouch. Someone collecting Clemente hit tickets? Like you said, a pedestrian game/games but if they don't come up often then the bidding often gets out of hand.

It is ridiculous at times. I just purchased this full ticket for Willie Statgell’s last homer. It was his 475th and is the Pirate franchise record. It cost half of what the Padres stub sold for.

It depends what all happened in the game and if someone else collects whatever happened. I just sold a Clemente HR stub and I know there is a woman who collects all Clemente HR tickets so there is that also.

What's an "audit stub?"

The audit stub was the portion of the ticket that the usher would tear off and keep for accounting purposes.

Thanks, don't think I've seen that on a ticket before.

Mike is absolutely correct, Hank.
Look at it as the portion of the ticket that would not be handed back to the patron when the full ticket was torn.
Generally speaking, these are considered to be less valuable than the patron stub by most collectors.
