Hi Mike,
Yes, you understand correctly.
If no code, there is no way to know when they were printed. Usually box office "ticketmaster" type tickets have this printing date code. Buying the nicer alternative "season ticket" style stock immediately after the event occured is a better option. Not only are these more attractive, but all of these season tickets were issued BEFORE the season began.
I hope this helps...

Thanks Scott! It looks like I do have one 3000 hit ticket in my collection that was printed after the fact, so I'll probably go back and replace that one. I was curious about your opinion about "league pass tickets" or "media pass tickets" for a particular year and team when someone had a no-hitter, etc. Do you consider those when looking for specific tickets? I'm kinda on the fence about those.

Mike,
I wouldn't go there either. They are less desirable as a ticket collector.

To me these Halladay "Perfect Game" tickets are nothing more than a reprint of an actual game ticket just like a reprint of a card.

Which, I think, would be more "acceptable" to collectors if they were marketed as such. Printed on real ticket stock, from the same printers as real tickets, but with a nonsense bar code and a non-existant section and seat location (for example, using the Halladay perfect game as an example, a seat in section 501, whereas in reality the highest numbered section in the Marlins' ballpark is 456).
