Can anyone help identify the year of this ticket, guessing 1960s but exact year would be nice. I’m a kings’ fan here in LA, so not very well versed in Blackhawks’ history 😅
(Looks like someone had it glued in a scrapbook at one point and it ripped off the date portion. )

Well going off a general google image search, I am guessing ’60’s sometime.
The logo looks the most like the 1957-1964 logo. Unfortunately, they had 6 playoff seasons in that span so it’s harder to narrow down any further.
Hawks were home team game 3 in ’62, ’65, and ’73. Ticket looks very similar to a ’71 that I could find online. The price also seems to indicate 73. There is a ’61 finals ticket showing mezzanine tickets were $4.50.
*edit* whoops I thought was a finals ticket not just playoffs. No idea in that case.
Tough call. Norris died in ’66 and he owned that bank listed on the back of the ticket, but I’m pretty sure that bank passed to the Wirtz’s with the team. I wasn’t around for the 60s. Seems like a steep price for early 60s, maybe? I’m thinking some where ’67 through ’73.
Based on other tickets found on Google and eBay, and the price, I’m guessing this is a 1970s era ticket. This is listed as Home Game 3, which suggests this is Game 5 or Game 6 of a series, hosted at the Stadium. I searched for such games and there are 7 potential games fitting this criteria. However, one particular game catches my eye based on where you live and found this ticket.
The Hawks hosted the LA Kings in Game 5 of the Quarterfinals on April 16, 1974. I can’t conclusively connect this ticket to that game without more information, but it seems plausible it could be.
Pretty sure this was when Jean Claude Van Damme saved the day.
