A pair of front-row balcony tickets to Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865 — the night President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth — sold at auction for $262,500, according to a Boston-based auction house.
The tickets are stamped with the date, "Ford's Theatre, APR 14, 1865, This Night Only." They bear the left-side imprint "Ford's Theatre, Friday, Dress Circle!" and are filled out in pencil with section "D" and seat numbers "41″ and "42," according to RR Auction.
The Harvard stub, which consists of just the left half of the ticket, is the only other used April 14th Ford's Theatre ticket known to still exist, with similar seat assignments filled out in pencil and a stamp placed identically to the ones on the tickets auctioned off Saturday.
