    Looks like that's from 1980: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354018907037

    was gonna say that was a mid/late 80s ticket but that has been established already ... interestingly enough the steelers tickets have increased 93% over the last 15 years to 6th highest in the league as of 2021
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Strange thing is there are a bunch of pictures of that year's ticket stubs floating around the internet, and the price on almost all of them was $11.00 regardless of where they were in the stadium (only one was different, $13.00). A good mix of the 200s, 500s, 600s, even what looked like lower field level box seats all for $11. Did they have uniform prices for the whole stadium back then, or maybe at least if you bought season tickets? Because that's something you'd sure never see today.

    I think in 1989, the tickets were $18.00. So maybe that is an early 80s ticket?

    Funny, the player on the ticket has a number 69, that number was backup DE Fred Anderson's who was last on the roster in 1978.

    That looks like Franco Harris’ body and gear. Maybe just a “photoshop” job because they probably didn’t have the rights to use “real” players on the tickets?

    Or maybe they just have an “actor” for photos and that number wasn’t in rotation at the time for those tickets?

    it does look like Harris. I would go with your first guess.

    A lot of the other tickets from that year have recognizable players on them, including Franco Harris. Do an image search for "1980 Steelers ticket stub" and several will pop up.
