Question RE: Collecting World Series Tickets

Hi everyone, I've fairly recently gotten into collecting vintage World Series full tickets. One question I have that I haven't been able to find an answer for is this:

If a ticket has a "Void" stamp on both ends of the ticket, why was that done? Is it considered a "proof" ticket"? Was it stamped upon admission to the game? Is it considered the same thing as a "hole punch". Just trying to find whatever info I can.

Thanks in advance.

    Hiya Brian

    Welcome!

    Have no idea - just wanted to welcome you.

    Was the ticked "stamped" or "punched?"

    Have seen a few "punched void" - I would guess they do that when taking it so the holder has a take-home souvenir?

    Only thing that comes to mind is maybe the info. on the ticket had errors on it,I.E. wrong date or wrong price,date info. Misprinted. Hope this helps a bit.

    Thanks everyone for the welcome!

    FYI: The tickets that I've seen are punched void (not stamped) with the punch spelling out the word "void". Some good theories mentioned so far. Thanks for the responses.

    are there sections and seat #'s identified on these tickets?

    So my question is "Are they phantom tickets?" Many teams print tickets for post season events and don't qualify, or the series does not go that many games. For example, a ticket for game 5 of the Red Sox-Astros ALDS this year.

    Most of the ones I've seen do have section and seat #s, so I don't think they are proofs. They are not phantom tickets either, as the games were played. I found an example of one on ebay (not sure how to link it) but if anyone wants to check it out it is a psa graded 1941 world series ticket. Their label does say "void stamp" though it is technically punched. Thanks everyone.
