As with any sports endeavor, players need to practice in order to become a finished product and be able to participate in the biggest events. In the production aspects of tickets, proofs are made to check how the tickets appear, inspecting colors, text, etc. Oftentimes, these tickets have punch holes where the ROW and SEAT numbers would be located. These were not valid for admission. Phantom tickets, were made FOR admission, but in this case, the team did not make the post season or did not advance far enough.
