One question about the date written on the back of the ticket:
Is the writing in fountain pen, or is it in ball point pen?
I can't tell by your photo.
Please note that ball point pen was not a thing until around 1940. If the writing is in ballpoint pen, it's inconsistent with 1934.

BTW, my good friend Dan Busby (RIP) published a couple of limited production books on ticket collecting entitled "Washington Senators 1868-1939" and Washington Senators 1940-2012", respectively.

Unfortunately, there is not an example of a photo of a Grandstand ticket from the 1934 era to compare it to in the book. The ticket price is consistent with what a Grandstand ticket cost in the early 1940's (1941) based on an exemplar that he shows in the 2nd book.

I hope you find this helpful.

I don't know if this will help, but here is a picture of an Upper Grand Stand ticket from 1940.

Sent my first tickets off to PSA to be graded. Perhaps I should have checked here first, as they didn't want to grade a number of these. I can only assume that they require knowing the exact date/game??
Here are a few I had hopes for:

True, but those are pretty damn cool!

I recently picked this up on eBay. Nothing of any importance occurred in this regular season game. However, I was surprised by the shiny gold color and the price of admission. Box seats were $4.15 that year. This ticket is almost twice that amount. Has anyone here ever come across a Pirates ticket like this? Do you have any information or ideas why such a ticket exists? Thanks!

Was fortunate to find this photo from Hank Aaron's 704th HR hit on August 18th 1973 at Jarry Park in Montreal off a very young Steve Rogers , this Home run was the 1,378th extra-base hit of his career passing Stan Musial's mark of 1377 to become the all-time leader in extra-base hits, he ended his career with 1477 extra-base hits, still the all-time record

Love it, Guy! That turned out great!

BTW, Tim Wallach is from my college alma mater, Cal State Fullerton.
Go Titans!

As you're aware, the Expos manager in 1991 was former major leaguer, Tom Runnels.
Ironically, I used to see Runnels at my gym fairly frequently.
I've spoken to him about Mark Gardner's no-hit loss on 7/26/91 two days earlier against the Dodgers as well as El Presidente's perfecto on 7/28/91.
