Ticket Please!!! Random project idea!

[The_Tyler_Black]

I was working on my skeeball table, and when I opened the ticket dispenser i found 2 Miracle Strip Amusment Park tickets. Miracle Strip was located on Panama City Beach, but was closed and sold 5 years ago to build condos. All the rides were sold along with the arcade games. Last year I was outside of a business with my friend (you know him as Lutus on here) and saw that they were throwing away a skeeball machine. (i picked it up and made a forum topic on here a while back).

So my question is are they any cool "craft" ideas for redemtion tickets?

Make a small display, I think they are called shadow boxes?  Hang it on the wall near your arcade games...

Trade 'em in for a spider ring.

I second the spider ring, or a high bounce ball.

If you can't bear to throw them in the trash, put them on ebay and say that the Virgin Mary appears when you stare at them.

PS: I hope Lutus' job with you isn't posting bass tabs on the internet (tell him I said so, he'll know what you mean  ).

After talking to my mom who is a "crafter" she suggested (since i need another stool in my game room) that i should get one and put the tickets on it and clear coat over it so itll fit in with the game room!

so going off of that i thought it would be cool if i got redemption tickets from all over america/anywhere and cover the entire stool with tickets.
It might look dumb at the end but i figured it would be worth trying to see how it looks.

Are you willing to help me out, and send a couple tickets (1-5) from arcades in your area?

embed em in plastic and turn em into keychains

Those tickets will be wood pulp pretty damn quick, regardless of what type of stool you use (soft or hard surface). I guess you could put like 80 coats of clearcoat on top, but I wonder how well people would be able to sit on the things without sliding off. I would go with your origonal idea, maybe even have them on a plaque on the machine with something saying they were found in the machine when you rescued it.

Also, if you have a roll of tickets, you could make a toilet paper roll dispenser sized for the tickets and place them next to the real toilet paper roll as a joke (esp if you have a bathroom dedicated to your game room)

Edit: the above poster gave me another idea: Laminate them and afix them in such a way it looks like there are always two tickets coming out of the ticket dispenser on the skeeballmachine. This assumes that you wont actually be using the ticket dispenser, and as such may make it look "more authentic"

I have 6 few old redemption tickets from the arcade that I always played in growing up.  If you PM me your mailing address, I would gladly send you 2 or 3 of them.

If you get ahold of enough of them maybe you could make a set of coasters.
