This documentation examines a cinema ticket stub for the film *The Aviator*, screened at the Market Fair Princeton cinema complex, likely located in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, at 9:40 PM. The stub, a tangible artifact of early 21st-century entertainment culture, offers insights into cinema-going practices, pricing structures, and the branding strategies of the then-prominent Regal Entertainment Group. The ticket itself, a small rectangular piece of thermally printed paper, bears the vestiges of its handling and use, offering a physical connection to a specific moment in time. The front of the ticket clearly identifies the venue, Market Fair Princeton, an important detail for understanding the local context of cinema exhibition. Mercer County, part of the greater New York metropolitan area, would have likely presented a substantial market for a film like *The Aviator*, given its proximity to major media centers and a potentially affluent demographic. The film’s title, *The Aviator*, is accompanied by the letter “(B),” likely denoting a specific auditorium within the multiplex. The date and time of the showing, December 28, 2004, at 9:40 PM, further contextualizes the ticket within the holiday movie season, a period of heightened cinema attendance. The price of $6.50, designated as a student ticket, reflects contemporary pricing strategies and provides a glimpse into the cost of entertainment during this period. The printed seat number, “10,” while not offering a precise location, suggests early purchase and potentially reflects preferred seating selection near the front of the auditorium. Two sets of serial or confirmation numbers, 003486643230007 and a secondary sequence incorporating the date and time, are typical of automated ticketing systems and serve as unique identifiers for the transaction. The reverse side of the ticket displays standard cinema admission language, “ADMIT ONE,” along with the common legal boilerplate concerning validity, management prerogatives, and seating allocation. The inclusion of the Regal Entertainment Group branding prominently positions the ticket within the larger corporate landscape of the cinema industry at that time. The accompanying website, www.REGmovies.com, now defunct, offers a snapshot of online ticketing practices in the early 2000s, demonstrating the growing convergence of digital technology and entertainment consumption. This inclusion of web address demonstrates the industry's move towards increased digitization of ticketing systems. The ticket’s condition, while not explicitly detailed, appears to be generally well-preserved with typical handling wear expected of a paper artifact of this age. The typography of the ticket stub is utilitarian, likely reflecting the constraints of thermal printing technology common at the time. The paper stock is relatively thin and lightweight, a characteristic of mass-produced ticketing. The ink appears as a monochrome black or dark gray, a standard choice for cost-effective printing. The overall design prioritizes functionality over aesthetic considerations, yet embodies a clear visual language of cinema ticketing prevalent in the early 21st century. The artifact’s connection to a major Hollywood production, *The Aviator*, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, adds a layer of cultural significance, positioning the ticket within the broader context of film history and popular entertainment. Its preservation offers a tangible link to the reception and consumption of cinema during this specific era.
