Reserved seat ticket

Picture
The rear of the reserved seat ticket is shown below. This includes a diagram of the stadium and the various turnstile access points.

General admission ticket

Picture
Note the change of font colour between the two tickets and the need to use 'Athletics' instead of the standard 'Track & Field' description, because of the reduced space.
Picture
And the rear of the ticket. I assume that the monogram is 'HB', being Hancock Brothers, the ticket printers.  You will note that their name appears in the margin on the front side of the ticket.
Picture

Stadium pass

For reserved seating in the same position for every day, session and event of the Games in the Olympic Stadium. Priced at $22.00, this was the cost of eleven standard entry tickets, yet allowed witness of a fortnight of different events. The passes came in two colours; blue and green. The colour designated which side of the stadium you were to sit.

Below are the rear views of the passes.

Child Pass

Children's passes were charged at half the price of the adult version.  The design of these passes was no different to that adult version, it simply had the left hand side cut off to remove reference to the cost being $22.00.  You will note that the rear sections of the adult passes, shown above, have the number of the pass stated on both sides of the pass to prepare for this eventuality.

Press pass

An all access press pass.

Unlike the stadium passes upon which this was clearly modelled, the rear is blank.

Official Pass

Close-up scan

Unfortunately, the scanner I possess cannot do justice to the intricacy of this design.  One of the best engravers in the city spent 3 weeks carving the metal print that produced these tickets.
