For Sale on eBay: 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech Ticket Stub
Not that I ever buy much of it, but I'm always looking for cool Michigan memorabilia on eBay. And I just saw this - a ticket stub for the 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech football game (the Willis Ward game). I've been on the lookout for a program or ticket stub from that game, and this is the first one I've seen listed.
I have to believe this is on the bucket list for a lot of collectors. It's $350 if you want it. See the listing HERE.
What would your ultimate Michigan ticket stub find be? Mine would be the 1902 Rose Bowl (assuming they had ticket stubs back then).
I certainly wish that I kept my Freshman year stubs. That was 1973. The final game that season was the Denny Franklin 10-10 tie with OSU undefeated season without a bowl game that left Bo "bitterly disappointed". It provided the subject matter for the BTN documentary "Tiebreaker".
It just so happens that I have a 1902 Rose Bowl official program which I would be reluctantly willing to let go at the right price. Message me and make me an offer. Of course, the program stub is verifiable.
There's no messaging function.
Oh you weren’t given access?
I might be interested in something like that, but I don't know what is "the right price." Any idea how we appropriately correspond off this thread? I'm an impressively infrequent poster on this site!
I read that the admission price was 50 cents to $1 to see the game. An additional $1 would be charged to admit a family's horse and buggy to the grounds.( the 1998 game cost me $75 with no buggy). The game was played in Tournament Park (a track now by CalTech's pool) where temporary stands were built, also now also close to many sites used on Big Bang Theory.
What I find interesting is the price of 2.20 (with tax). At a 4% rate of inflation, that would be about $67 in 2021. Curious what the actual price is for a ticket in the same section assuming section numbers are the same after the expansions.
Looking at the seller's other items, I find it very hard to believe this person does not visit MGoBlog regularly. However, the collection of tickets is pretty impressive.

All those awesome ticket stubs, photos, and programs, then you run across "Dora's Summer Parade Board Books Wendy Wax."
The seller is based out of New York according to a listing. Other wise I might have believed WD was selling off some of his collection .
Listing says 1934 in two places and in the description it says 1937 in two places. Sounds fishy.
Well, it looks like somebody on MGoBlog just beefed up their collection! The ticket stub has been sold.
Can someone work in a key and peele “dees nutz” joke. This is the tread that is ripe for it. Just can’t conjure the joke structure. I know it’s there. My fourth grade self would have nailed this. Damn you aging.
Too much of the red rum, eh?
It's cool to see the back of that ticket. I didn't realize the section numbers were the same back then as they are now. I always thought it was a little confusing how the sections are spilt in half and extend across the aisles. I wonder what the thought process was for that.
