In this photo provided by Boston-based RR Auction house, rare front-row balcony tickets to Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865 rest on a reflective surface. The tickets, dated when President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, were sold at auction for $262,500, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, according to RR Auction.
The handwritten seating assignments and the circular April 14th-dated stamp match those found on other known authentic tickets, including a used ticket stub in the collection of Harvard University’s Houghton Library, auction officials said. Just after 10:00 p.m., during the third act of the play “Our American Cousin,” Booth entered the presidential box at the theater in Washington, D.C., and fatally shot Lincoln.
