This original strip of six amusement park tickets is from Oceanic Park, once located at 3rd Avenue & the Boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Issued by the Elliott Ticket Co. of New York City, these tickets reflect mid-century amusement operations, likely from the 1950s or 1960s based on typography, cost reference, and ticket format. Each ticket reads “ONE TICKET” and is printed with the restriction on the reverse that it may not be used for rides costing more than 75¢, indicating a pricing structure consistent with post-war boardwalk amusement economics. The numeric stamp “02612” appears in red on each ticket in this particular photographed strip; however, please note that the serial number may vary as multiple strips are being offered.

Oceanic Park formed a key part of Asbury Park’s once-thriving waterfront entertainment district, nestled along the historic Jersey Shore. Though lesser-known than its neighboring Palace Amusements or the famed Tillie mural, Oceanic Park offered a range of traditional boardwalk attractions likely including mechanical rides such as bumper cars, spinning teacups, and kiddie trains, as well as concession-style amusements like skee-ball and ring toss. The park stood within walking distance of other historic landmarks like the Paramount Theatre and Convention Hall, contributing to Asbury Park’s reputation as a premier East Coast summer destination throughout the mid-20th century.

These tickets offer a rare and tangible connection to the vanished world of seaside amusements, capturing a moment in time when boardwalk entertainment was both affordable and family-centered. Each ticket strip represents a fragment of New Jersey shore history, printed with crisp block text and preserved in unused condition. These ephemeral remnants make excellent display pieces for collectors of transit and admission ephemera, New Jersey memorabilia, or amusement park history.
