Back of ticket


Sorry if it's a bit fuzzy, used my digital camera.
Image fig.1
Stains and fingerprints like the front, also note the table layout. Looking at the size of the words the table ends with Friday, making the punched column Tuesday. But the start of the ticket table, seen clearly when Joe removes the tape, shows the first column is Sunday.
Image fig.2
This also shows there's more than one version of the ticket table back, two maybe 3 even. One covers the whole of the ticket back right to the edges (fig.2 & 3), while the other from Wally's first encounter shows it doesn't (fig.1).
Image fig.3
Added differences are the punch hole position (fig.1 & 3) and a destination filled in (fig.3).

Removal of the tape also shows the true colour of the ticket beneath, it's clean and white, so the rest of the aged look is just down to Wally's grime post taping it (fig.2 & 3). There's a clear divide between where the tape protected the ticket and where the dirt starts. The ticket if placed back in room 10 and reset should reappear near mint and clean as the occupant left it. The tape's removal also reveals there's an extra colon left of the Willowbrook address, hinting at a Departure heading under the remaining tape (seen during tape removal scene & fig.3). While playing around with making my own ticket, I found the word "Departure:" fits perfectly. Also the closeup shows that the font used for both these headings and the days is Times New Roman or similar (fig.2). The departure address is at an angle as if rubber stamped, the destination address likewise (fig.2 & 3). I found that font Blue Highway was a near match for the Willowbrook address, though for the two Ls and comma I used Myriad Pro. If anyone knows what the destination address is and it's font please post.
