NOTES:

Up until 1979 the date was not included on New York Yankees Grandstand & Bleacher tickets. Once you have figured out the year of your ticket using the Grandstand Ticket Stub Dating Guide, you will need to figure out the game that the ticket is attributed to. Correctly attributing the game number on a ticket to the game played will effect the value. A ticket stub will increase in value due to a significant event, or player milestone. A hitting or pitching milestone by a noted player such as a Home Run by Joe DiMaggio or a shutout thrown by Red Ruffing will have added value.

This New York Yankees Home Schedule is a list of home games to help attribute the number on a ticket to the game(s) played. In 1942 the Yankees were scheduled to play 154 games. 77 Road games, and 77 Home games.

Heading into the 1930's baseball saw a major decline in week-day afternoon single game attendance, due in part to the great depression, and high unemployment. To boost gate receipts Baseball offered two games for the price of one. What they did was remove a scheduled single week-day game and added it to a Sunday game earlier in the season. They called it a "Synthetic Double Header" (Synthetic Double Headers, were sometimes created due to stress on the schedule caused by excessive Rain outs)

NOTE: Game No. 63 scheduled for Aug 27 vs Chicago was removed and added to Game No. 11 played on May 3, as a Synthetic Double Header. Game No. 51 scheduled for Aug 7 vs Philadelphia was removed and added to Game No. 39 played on July 5, as a Synthetic Double Header Game No. 68 scheduled for Sept. 1 vs Detroit was removed and added to Game No. 66 and played on Aug. 30, as a Synthetic Double Header

Tickets for games that were rained out were voided. If the "Make Up Game" for the rain out was added to another scheduled game to create a double header, the ticket number of that scheduled game was used for admission to both games. If the rain out game was made up on an off day, the ticket issued for admission to that game featured a Letter for the Game No. For a scheduled double header, the first game number of the two was used on the ticket for admission to both games.
