Prior to tickets being considered essential collectibles, many stadium's "day of" tickets and/or season tickets would only have a designated number on them and not the specific date. "Game 1" or "Game 77" etc.
Hank Aaron hit 715 on April 8, 1974, which was the Braves home opener that year, hence "Game 1" of their home tickets.
In the case of the mid-70s Braves, it does look like they used "Game" designations on a few of their tickets for the Hank Aaron 715th game, specifically for upper level general admission and dugout level.
Since the upper level G.A. was the nosebleeds, $2 was the going rate, and it looks like children could buy them for $1.
The long-time experts on here could maybe answer more definitively, but I don't see that exact style of ticket anywhere (with two Braves heads) on search. Without the exact year printed, which some of the dugout level tickets do have, it's hard to know for sure if this was Game 1 from 1974, or from similar years with this ticket style... 1973? 1975? etc.
