Ticket stubs for the Super Bowl VIII which was played on January 13, 1974, at Houston’s Rice Stadium and ended in a 24–7 win for the Miami Dolphins over the Minnesota Vikings.

“Super Bowl VIII” is shown in linked letters from Yagi Bold. Even the Roman numerals were connected. The name of the location is set in contoured caps from Friz Quadrata, integrated into the illustration by Peter Palombi. Information at the bottom is in Helvetica. The seat info at the top appears to use News Gothic and Alternate Gothic. The flag in 1 is a little different – maybe it’s a version for special numbering machines.
