Description

  The present invention relates to a box office ticket for the purpose of reducing resale by an Internet auction or the like.

  A front view of a conventional general ticket is shown in FIG. A ticket 60 in a conventional performance or the like is composed of a main body 12 and a stub section 14, and a cut line 18 is provided between the main body 12 and the stub section 14 so as to be separable. On the surface of the ticket 60, the name of the performance, the date and time, the venue, the seat number, etc. are printed. In particular, the seat number 16 (16a) is printed and displayed on the main body portion 12, but the seat number 16 (16b) is often printed and displayed also on the stub portion 14. The ticket is confirmed by a staff member when the visitor enters the venue, and the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 are separated along the cut line 18. The main body 12 is owned by a spectator, and the stub portion 14 is collected by an attendant.

  With the spread of Internet auctions, tickets 60 for performances and the like are also being exhibited in auctions. In this auction, a person who wishes to make a successful bid for a ticket often determines whether or not to make a successful bid for the ticket 60 after confirming the seat number 16 displayed on the ticket 60. That is, the seat number 16 is the factor that most affects the winning bid amount in the auction. However, since the seat number 16 can be easily confirmed with the tickets 60 for entertainment, etc., There were many things that were traded at a fairly high price at auction. Therefore, recently, in anticipation that tickets will be traded at high prices in auctions, there are some people who want to view tickets for resale purposes instead of viewing purposes. It was happening.

  In order to solve the problem, the ticket according to the present invention prevents the seat number from being viewed from the outside in the ticket including the stub portion and the main body portion displaying the seat number. The sealing member and the main body are pasted to each other through pasting means so as to be peeled off. The ticket according to the present invention is characterized in that the pasting means cannot be pasted again. The ticket according to the present invention is characterized in that when the seat number is displayed on the stub portion, the seal member makes the seat number of the stub portion invisible. The ticket according to the present invention is characterized in that a part of the seal member is fixed to the stub portion when the stub portion and the main body portion are connected by a cut line. The ticket according to the present invention comprises a first region fixed by the seal member to the stub portion and a second region attached to the main body portion via the attaching means, and the seat number is designated as the seat number. By providing on the surface of the second region on the side to be joined with the main body, it is not visible from the outside. The ticket according to the present invention comprises a first region fixed by the seal member to the stub portion and a second region attached to the main body portion via the attaching means, the first region, The side from the boundary position with the second region to the second region is arranged at an acute angle with the cut direction of the cut line. The ticket according to the present invention comprises a first region fixed by the seal member to the stub portion and a second region attached to the main body portion via the attaching means, the first region, The boundary position with the second region is rounded so as not to form a corner. The stub portion is a seal member that covers the seat number of the main body. The ticket according to the present invention is characterized in that when the seat number is displayed on the stub portion, the seat number of the stub portion is joined to the main body portion so that it cannot be visually recognized. The ticket according to the present invention is characterized in that an encrypted seat number recognition means for confirming the seat number is provided on the outer surface.

  According to the ticket of the present invention, it is possible to hide the seat number that most influences the winning bid amount in the Internet auction by the seal member. When the seat number is hidden by the seal member and the seal member is turned illegally, it is well known by clearly indicating on the ticket that the ticket is invalid. As a result, the ticket purchaser does not turn over the sealing member in order to observe the seat number in accordance with the agreement, and the purchaser does not know the seat number in principle. However, depending on the purchaser of the ticket, there is a possibility that the seat number may be viewed illegally by turning the seal member. In order to prevent such a risk that the seat number is viewed illegally, the means for adhering the main body portion or stub portion displaying the seat number and the seal member is set as a non-resticking means. As a result, when a person who wants to submit a ticket such as a ticket purchaser turns the seal member, the seal member does not reapply, leaving an improper trace. Can be seen. In this way, it is difficult for those who try to make a profit by reselling the ticket, such as it becomes difficult for the person who tries to make a successful bid by not seeing the seat number that greatly affects the winning bid amount in this way Therefore, resale activities at auction can be reduced. In addition, the purchase of such tickets for resale can be reduced, making it easier for those who really want to see the performance to obtain tickets.

  Further, according to the ticket of the present invention, the seal member is fixed to the main body portion together with a part of the seal member fixed to the stub portion so that the stub portion is cut from the main body portion along the cut line. Since the clerk's work can be performed only by the same work as the conventional method of separating the stub portion from the main body, it is not necessary to increase the work load of the clerk. Moreover, according to this invention, when an attendant performs the operation | work which isolate | separates a main-body part and a stub part, it can prevent that a sealing member is damaged or it remains torn in a main-body part.

  According to the present invention, the member for concealing the seat number is a stub portion, so that necessary members can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, in this case, both the seat numbers of the main body part and the stub part can be hidden by using the surface on which the seat numbers of the main body part and the stub part are displayed as a joint surface.

  Further, in the present invention, when the ticket dealer or the like needs to know the seat number for confirmation of consecutive seats, the seat number can be confirmed by the seat number recognition means.

It is an assembly drawing of the ticket in Example 4 which concerns on this invention. It is the DD sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a front view of the conventional ticket.

  Embodiment 1 of a ticket according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same reference numerals as those in FIG. 13 relating to the conventional ticket denote the same members. As shown in FIG. 1, the ticket 10 includes a main body portion 12 and a stub portion 14, and a cut line 18 such as a perforation line is provided at a boundary between them. As shown in FIG. 3, the seat number 16 a is printed on the main body 12, and the seat number 16 b is also printed on the stub section 14. The seat number 16a and the seat number 16b are combined into a seat number 16. In addition, although the seat number 16a is displayed on the main body portion 12, the stub portion 14 may not display the seat number 16b, but here, the seat number 16a is displayed on the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 is displayed. The description will be made assuming that the seat number 16b is displayed.

  On the main body 12 and the stub portion 14, a seal member 20 is attached as a seat number visual recognition preventing means for covering the seat number 16 a of the main body 12 and the seat number 16 b of the stub 14. In the ticket 10 with the seal member 20 attached, the seat numbers 16a and 16b are not visible from the outside. By peeling the seal member 20 from the ticket 10, the seat numbers 16a and 16b are exposed. 16a and 16b are understood. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the ticket 10 to which the seal member 20 is attached is set so as to be able to visually confirm the printed display such as the performance title other than the seat information, the date and time of the exhibition, and the venue. . On the surface of the seal member 20 (the surface in FIG. 1), “The seal member 20 has a rule that it is peeled off by an attendant at the venue. If the seal member 20 is peeled off in advance, the ticket 10 becomes invalid. "Is desirable.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. As a bonding means 24 for bonding the sealing member 20, the main body part 12 and the stub part 14 to the region of the dashed line in FIG. An adhesive layer is provided. In other words, the seal member 20 includes an adhesive layer (sticking means 24), and a peeling layer (not shown) for peeling it is provided in the main body 12 and the stub portion 14. The seal member 20 is attached to the main body 12 and the stub portion 14 so as to be peelable by the sticking means 24 and a peeling layer (not shown). The adhesive layer and the release layer as the sticking means 24 may be those generally used as stickers (seal) such as adhesive labels and toys. Note that an adhesive layer may be provided on the main body 12 or the stub 14, and a release layer may be provided on the seal member 20.

  However, if this is done, the seal member 20 can be reattached / removed from the main body 12 and the stub portion 14, so the ticket purchaser turns over the seal member 20 and confirms the seat number 16 After that, after the seal member 20 is re-applied to the main body 12 and the stub part 14 and returned to the original state, there is a possibility that the ticket is exhibited in the Internet auction with the information of the confirmed seat number 16. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, the sticking means 24 is made non-stickable as a means for preventing the seat number 16 from being viewed illegally, and the seal member 20 is once attached to the main body portion 12 or the stub portion 14. Once peeled off, it may be prevented from being attached again.

As the non-sticking means for making the sticking of the seal member 20 to the main body part 12 and the stub part 14 impossible, for example, the two pieces are joined by being folded in two at the center of one sheet of paper. There is an invention (Patent Document 1 “Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-165286”) that crimps a surface. In the present invention, for example, a special pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be peeled off is applied to one side of a sheet of paper that is folded in two, and the surface to which the special pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied is folded into two with the inside applied. The bonded surface is pressure-bonded by pressing from the outside, and is applied to a “crimp postcard” or the like for sending personal information or the like to the recipient while concealing personal information. As this special pressure-sensitive adhesive, a conventional general pressure-sensitive adhesive (for example, natural rubber-based latex) is used as an adhesive base, and a known non-affinity for the adhesive base is known. Proposed blends of fine particulate fillers (eg silica, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, etc.)
JP 2003-165286 A

  For example, in the present invention, the special pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to at least one of the seal member 20 and the main body portion 12 or the stub portion 14, and the seal member 20 and the main body portion 12 or the stub portion 14 are combined. What is necessary is just to make them join and to crimp them. In this way, the seal member 20 can be peeled off, but once it is peeled off, it cannot be restored (cannot be re-applied) by a normal method. However, when the sealing member 20 is peeled off from the main body part 12 or the stub part 14 and the seat number 16 is viewed illegally, the fraudulent trace can be left.

In addition to the above, there are many techniques that make re-sticking impossible. However, what is important in the present invention is that it is sufficient that the non-re-pasteable means has an effect that it cannot be re-paste once the seal member 20 is peeled off from the main body part 12 or the stub part 14, and therefore such an effect can be obtained. Any technique may be adopted as long as it is.
In the following, the pasting means 24 is a means that can be reattached / removed by the above-mentioned commonly used adhesive layer and a release layer for peeling it, or once peeled off, It shall mean a means that makes it impossible to affix. Further, in the drawing, similarly to FIG. 3 and the like, the region surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line indicates a portion to be peeled and bonded through the attaching means 24.

  For example, taking a measure such as invalidating the ticket 10 with the improper trace that once the seal member 20 has been peeled off and refusing to enter the venue on the day is well-known, for example, by clearly indicating on the ticket 10. As a result, the ticket purchaser does not peel off the seal member 20 from the ticket 10, and even if the ticket is exhibited at an Internet auction or the like, the ticket exhibitor and the person who intends to make a successful bid for the ticket see the seat number. This prevents the ticket from being traded at a high price. Further, it is possible to prevent an accident that the ticket purchaser accidentally peels off the seal member 20 and invalidates the ticket.

  The sealing member 20 may be made of any material as long as the seat number 16 can be made invisible from the outside by covering the seat number 16. For example, it is desirable to have flexibility such as paper or synthetic resin, which can be easily processed into a sheet shape, and easy to apply the pasting means 24. Further, the sealing member 20 may have a multi-layer structure instead of a single layer depending on improvement in concealability, improvement in strength, ease of applying the pasting means 24, and the like.

  The ticket 10 may include an encrypted seat number recognition unit 22 such as a barcode. The seat number recognizing means 22 reads this with a predetermined reading device so that the contents of the seat number 16 can be confirmed. In the ticket 10 of the present invention, the seat number 16 is concealed by the seal member 20, and when the seat number 16 needs to be confirmed for some reason, the seat number recognition means 22 is read by a predetermined reader. Thus, the seat number 16 can be confirmed. In FIG. 1, the seat part recognition means 22 is provided in the main body part 12, but this may be provided at any position on the outer surface of the ticket 10, whether it is the stub part 14, the seal member 20, or the like. Since techniques such as barcode reading means are generally known, their description is omitted.

  The seat number recognizing means 22 is not limited to a bar code, and may be, for example, numbers, alphabets obtained by encryption using a random number generator, or combinations thereof. The seat number recognition means 22 may be anything as long as the seat number is not easily understood by the ticket purchaser and can be easily understood by the ticket seller or event organizer. .

  When the ticket purchaser enters the venue, the ticket buyer in the state shown in FIG. The clerk peels off the sealing member 20 attached to the upper surface of the ticket 10 from the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12. As a result, the seat number 16 of the ticket 10 is exposed and can be confirmed for the first time. Thereafter, the clerk separates the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 by the cut line 18, passes the main body portion 12 in which the seat number 16 can be confirmed to the ticket purchaser, and collects the stub portion 14.

  A second embodiment of the ticket according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. Also in the second embodiment, a cut line 18 such as a perforation line is formed between the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14. As shown in FIG. 4, the seal member 30 is joined to the first region portion 32 joined to the stub portion 14 and the second region 26 (region shown by a one-dot chain line) including the seat number 16 a in the main body portion 12. The region portion 34 is integrally joined.

  From the state of FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 6, which is a cross section taken along the line BB of FIG. 5 and FIG. Adhere and fix. At the same time, as particularly shown in FIG. 7 (cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. 5), the region 26 (the region indicated by the one-dot chain line) including the seat number 16 a of the main body 12 and the second region 34 of the seal member 30. The region illustrated by the alternate long and short dash line is adhered to the region through the attaching means 24 so as to be peeled off. That is, the first region portion 32 which is a part of the seal member 20 is bonded and fixed by the stub portion 14 and the adhesive 36 so as not to be peeled off, and the second region portion 34 which is the other part of the seal member 20. Is affixed by the main body 12 and the affixing means 24 so as to be peelable. As a result, the state and ticket shown in FIG. 5 are obtained.

  In FIG. 4, the region 26 of the main body 12 and the second region 34 of the seal member 30 are indicated by a one-dot chain line. The one-dot chain line indicates the outer edge of the main body 12 or the second region of the seal member 30. Although it does not reach to the outer edge of 34, this is because it cannot be expressed in the drawing, and the region 26 of the main body 12 and the second region 34 of the seal member 30 reach the outer edge. Similarly, in FIG. 5, the cut line 18 between the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 is arranged on the left side of the left edge of the first region portion 32 of the seal member 30. This is because the cut line 18 is actually disposed at the same position as the left edge of the first region portion 32 of the seal member 30.

  In FIG. 8, the operation of the clerk separating the stub portion 14 and the seal member 30 from the main body portion 12 of the ticket according to the present embodiment will be described. When the stub portion 14 is separated from the main body portion 12, the cut line 18 is cut from the upper end at a position away from the second region portion 34 in the cut line 18. When the cut portion of the cut line 18 reaches the boundary between the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30, as shown in FIG. 8, the direction (P direction) for cutting the cut line 18 and the seal A force is applied to the stub portion 14 in the resultant direction (R direction) with the direction (Q direction) in which the second region portion 34 of the member 30 is lifted from the main body portion 12. Thereby, the cut line 18 is further cut and the second region 34 of the seal member 30 is peeled from the region 26 of the main body 12. Finally, the cut line 18 is cut off, the stub portion 14 and the first region portion 32 of the seal member 30 are separated from the main body portion 12, and the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30 is peeled off from the main body portion 12. The seat number 16a is exposed on the main body 12. In the second embodiment, the clerk simultaneously separates the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 and separates the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30 from the main body portion 12 by a series of operations for separating the cut line 18. Can do.

  The clerk performs the work of separating the main body portion 12 and the stub portion 14 of such a ticket when the audience enters the venue. The number of times this operation is performed is enormous and is performed in a relatively short time when the spectator enters. For this reason, in addition to the work of separating the stub portion 14 from the main body portion 12, a new work of removing the seal member 30 is newly added, which increases the burden on the staff. However, as in the second embodiment, the clerk only needs to perform a series of work (work for cutting the cut line 18) for separating the stub portion 14 from the main body portion 12 as in the prior art. Even if it installs, it is not necessary to increase the work and burden of the staff.

  In Example 2, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, a seat number 16 b may be provided on the joint surface of the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30 with the main body portion 12. The seat number 16b of the seal member 30 is visible only when the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30 is peeled off from the main body portion 12. By displaying the seat number 16b on the second region 34 of the seal member 30, the seating position of the visitor on the day can be recognized from the collected stubs 14 and can be used to accumulate information.

  This embodiment is characterized by the shape of the seal member 40. For example, in the shape described in the second embodiment, when the clerk separates the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 along the cut line 18, the boundary between the first region portion 32 and the second region portion 34 of the seal member 30. There is a risk that the part will be torn. If the seal member 30 is torn, the second region portion 34 remains in the main body portion 12, which requires time and effort to remove the second region portion 34. Example 3 is for preventing this.

  In Example 3, as shown in FIG. 9, the seal member 40 includes a first region 32 that is bonded to the stub portion 14 and a second region 42 that is connected to the first member 32 and protrudes toward the main body 12 side. The second region 42 has a side 44. In this sealing member 40, if the angle formed by the side 44 from the boundary position between the first region 32 and the second region 42 toward the second region 42 side with the cutting progress direction of the cutting line 18 is α, the angle α is an acute angle. Set to be When the clerk separates the stub portion 14 and the main body 12 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9 along the cut line 18, after the cut line 18 reaches the boundary between the first region 32 and the second region 42. When the cut line 18 is further cut, the angle α between the side 44 and the direction of travel of the cut line 18 is an acute angle, so that the boundary portion between the first region 32 and the second region 42 in the seal member 40 is prevented from being broken. can do. As shown in FIG. 10, in the sealing member 40, the boundary position between the first region 32 and the second region 47 may have a shape with a roundness r that does not form a corner. Thereby, when the clerk separates the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 along the cut line 18, it is possible to eliminate the problem that the second region 42 of the seal member 40 is broken and remains in the main body portion 12. .

  Embodiment 4 of the ticket according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. The fourth embodiment uses the stub portion 14 of the ticket 10 as a seal member that covers the seat number 16a of the main body portion 12. In the fourth embodiment, it is assumed that the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 are separated from the beginning. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 are detachably bonded through the attaching means 24. In a state where the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 are bonded, the ticket purchaser can use both the seat number 16a of the main body portion 12 and the seat number 16b of the stub portion 14 to be hidden on the bonding surface. Therefore, the seat number cannot be seen from the outside.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, in a state where the lower edge of the stub portion 14 and the lower edge of the main body portion 12 are matched, the upper edge 50 of the stub portion 14 is the upper edge of the main body portion 12. The shape of the stub portion 14 is set so as to protrude above 52. In other words, the stub portion 14 is formed with a protruding portion 54 as a knob portion that does not adhere to the main body portion 12.

  When the ticket purchaser enters the venue, the clerk holds the protruding portion 54 of the stub portion 14, peels the stub portion 14 from the main body portion 12, and separates the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12. Thereby, the seat number 16a of the main body 12 can be seen. In the fourth embodiment, since there is no cut line 18 and the stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 are simply peeled off, the clerk's stub portion 14 and the main body portion 12 can be easily separated.

  In the second, third, and fourth embodiments, it is desirable to provide the seat number recognition means 22 provided in the first embodiment.

  Further, the shape of the seal member 20 is not limited to that described in the above embodiment. For example, the second region portion 34 of the seal member 20 according to the second embodiment may have a shape that covers the entire surface of the main body portion 12 (the surface on which the seat number 16a is printed). In this case, as described above, the main body 12 and the second region 34 are detachably bonded by the pasting means 24. And a place other than the seat number 16a is made a transparent member so that a place where the performance name, venue, date and time other than the seat number 16a are printed can be visually recognized. Further, in the case where the entire surface of the main body 12 is covered with the second region 34 of the sealing member in this way, when using a material that cannot make a part of the second region 34 transparent, the surface of the main body 12 is The second area 34 is provided so that it cannot be visually recognized, and the information printed on the main body 12 on the outer surface of the second area 34 is information other than the seat number 16a, that is, the performance name, the venue The date and time of the event may be printed.
