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 Thurman Munson or a shutout thrown by Mel Stottlemyre 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 1972 the Yankees were scheduled to play 162 games. 81 Road games, and 81 Home games.

The 1972 season was originally to start April 6, but because of a player strike the season did not start until April 15. The Leagues decided to just remove the lost portion of the season with no makeup games. As a result, an uneven number of games were lost by each team; some as few as six, some as many as nine. Seven games were taken off the Yankees Schedule, four home games and 3 road games, resulting in the Yankees playing 155 games, 78 Road Games and 77 Home Games.

June 18. game No. 33, after a long rain delay the Yankees Bat Day was called off, but the bats were handed out.

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.
