Stanley Cup Ticket

[joeadcock]

Can someone identify the year of this Stanley Cup ticket? Front/back included. Is this a common ticket? or not many exist?

Thanks

Got it about 10 years ago, and was told it was 1933. Just wanted to find way of identifying the year as well as compare to other similar tickets there might be out there.

I tried, it's a good puzzle.

Using the hockey db and the ticket price you can eliminate non play off years, using price you can eliminate later years when Mezz seats cost more. What throws me off is the "Game Two Stanley Cup" is it referring to the game number at Chicago Stadium or the number of the game in the series? My guess is it's from the 40's, maybe 43-44 or 45-46, possibly 52-53 though, but I'd go back and check the Game #2 reference.

I know my old Chicago Stadium playoff tickets from the 80's & 90's weren't very specific to opponent and game date as well. They were printed before everything was determined.

I have seen ticket stubs that refer to the overall playoffs, not just the final series. So even though it says Stanley Cup series, it might be to a regular playoff game and not the finals. Sorry if this makes it more complicated to date.

I do think that's the case.

Here's a ticket from a 1952 regular season game.

Thanks Rick and Jeff on trying to ID the ticket.

My search continues for some kind of example of a similar ticket which could exactly lead to definite ID on year.

Does anyone know of a reference book or a collector of tickets that might have seen this one?
