A Harvard University student gained entry to the New England Aquarium in Boston on June 10 with a ticket that was older than she is.
Rachel Carle, 26, was given the “Late Gate Ticket” by her great aunt Catherine Cappiello, 85, who purchased it in 1983.
“You have arrived too late to fully enjoy our facilities, this ticket is good for admission at anytime in the future,” the ticket read.
Cappiello obtained the ticket during a 1983 trip to Boston with her partner. The couple arrived at the aquarium at the end of a day of sightseeing, but it was around closing time, so they were given the tickets they could redeem in the future.
“I probably changed it from one wallet to another and just kept it in the new one. It was one of those things, I thought that maybe someday I’d get back there, but I wasn’t sure,” Cappiello said.

hold on to it its 37 years old it may be worth a lot more then an entry to some collectors
a treasure
Big deal. I actually still have a TWA plane ticket in my possession that I was given for volunteering to give up my seat, back in 1996. Not worth much now. I also have a return ticket to Israel on Tower Air. I made a round trip reservation, starting in Israel, but in the end I decided to stay in NY. By the time I was ready to visit, Tower Air was long gone. Another worthless treasure.
Imagine a bochur using that on a date
