1906 Ticket Help

[prewarsports]

One of the older collectors I spoke to that has been chronicling tickets from every team and every season for decades told me something interesting the other day which I had not heard before. He told me there is no evidence that teams charged more for specific games, including opening day, except for the World Series. He had opening day tickets on file for White Sox games since the advent of Comiskey Park and even those were all the same price. Bigger crowds, but the ticket prices were set for the regular season and did not change. According to several people that is key here, but I agree that perhaps a newspaper article that actually spoke about ticket prices would maybe be the key.

I appreciate the feedback.

The price does seem high but perhaps it was for a box or better seat? Is there evidence from the collector that the '1' is a game number as opposed to a box or section number?
