Miscellaneous

Dozens of ticket types were issued during the course of the fair, including entry tickets designed for special days such as Manhattan Day, or Chicago Day, standard one-day passes, and children's tickets. There were also tickets to rides or venues inside the fair that required an extra fee, such as tickets to the giant Ferris Wheel, or to the cultural exhibits that showcased the people and habitats of societies from around the globe, such as the Samoan, Lapland, or Java villages. Some were interesting and decorative, and some were plain, numbered tickets like what you might receive today to enter a movie theatre, or raffle. So in the "Miscellaneous" section we will present a few of the more collectible types of the many tickets allowing visitors to get in, and around, the fair.

Approximately 716,000 people attended the Columbian Exposition for "Chicago Day," October 9, 1893. This day commemorated the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The front features a grapic of the mythical Phoenix rising from the ashes. The reverse depicts Fort Dearborn, built in 1816 to protect settlers and encourage them to build around the fort on the south side of the Chacago river.

Columbus and Manhattan days were two of the most popular of many "Theme" days celebrated. Manhattan Day came about a week before the Fair closed and officials from Manhattan were invited to deliver speeches lauding their's and Chicago's excellences and ties.

The ticket features the Statue of Liberty on the front, and a richly detailed reverse with a center design including two Grecian female figures flanking a Federal Shield on which perches an Eagle. This is a gorgeous, "used" ticket--no stub--with no flaws.
