Hi Everyone:
My family and I were discussing the tickets at Hunt's Pier recently and I'm hoping you all can help. We seemed to remember the 1970's version of Hunt's tickets as yellow, perfectly square, and with a hole punched through the middle of each.
My father came up with an old ticket from "The New Hunt's Pier" from the 1980's, but it is rectangular and pretty much like the current Morey's tickets.
Would anyone on the board remember what the square Hunt's Pier tickets looked like---or even better---have or be able to point me toward an image of them?
Thanks in advance for settling this for us!
Mark

Mark I remember the tickets you speak of, but I don't have any to scan. Your description of them seems right on from what I remember. Maybe you can look under the boardwalk in front of hunts for a few old ones. |

Ralph has a great collection of stuff there, but unfortuantly the square tickets are not pictured. |

I saw that ticket on Ebay a while back, the one that was signed by Bud Hunt himself. Kristen, do you or your mom have anything like that? I'm sure you have to have something from your own grandfather.

I'm sure you have to have something from your own grandfather. That was probably a forged signature. Who would have Bud Hunt sign a pier ticket? That sounds fishy. Was the seller Rareoddities? |

 Is this the ticket you guys are talking about? This free ride pass has Bud's signature already pre-printed on it and the date would be filled in for the date of use. (I don't have this actual ticket, I scanned it from the Boyer Museum.) I do remember seeing those "square" tickets that everyone is talking about but I don't recall seeing them at the Boyer and our family doesn't have any of them... I wish I did! |

I do now distinctly remember the square tickets, they were there in the 70's at least. Did not think about it until reading this thread, but I remember them now, they were yellowish with red lettering, I believe, about 1" x 1" with a hole in the middle of each. We probably have a couple lying around in a drawer or a picture box somewhere, that we didn't use one year, "saved for next year", and forgot to take with us that next year, like usual. Now, if this is correct, I'm glad we did forget them that second year!

Last Resort-
If you still have them, please take a photo or scan them... I vaguely remember them and would love to see what they look like! I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
-Kristen

Thanks! -Kristen Sure will Kristen, but they would be at my parents, so I will mention it to my mom or dad to check our old memorabilia, and I live about an hour away from them so I will try to rummage around the next time I visit.... Sorry, it might take a while, but I'm pretty sure we have some, since I remember them so distinctly, I don't think it has been 26 years since I last saw them (which would have been the last time I would have been on the pier when it was still Hunt's), probably only like maybe 10 years ago when I was going through some stuff at one time or another... I'll keep my fingers crossed. |

Thanks for the links and info, everyone! If anybody finds a square ticket, please post a shot! I'd love to see one again!

Boy, I wish my dad would have saved some tickets, but back then I had that ignorance mentality "oh, well, there's always next year". I had no idea my father was going to lose his life suddenly on March 8, 1986. He was hit by a car not too far from my house. My father is who heard about WW and took us in the first place. I have movies converted to a VHS tape that are priceless because my father is in them. As well as my father's mother's mother. Both my father's parents (seperated) are still alive. In the video my mom and dad went to WW without me in the mid-70's. It showed a motel, Mariner Inn, Ed Zaberer's, my dad on the beach. I wish my dad would have taken pictures of the amusements close up such as at Hunt's Pier, and Fun Pier, and the fun houses and dark rides but Ralph and Anthony have a nice collection. I have pictures of me and my brother on the beach and buried in sand.
