I want to design an invitation that looks like a football game ticket stub. What font should I use?

What does a football ticket look like? Answer that and you'll realize the isn't the important.

Did you look here? Or here? Doesn't have font names, but gives you the look.

It doesn't seem to matter much, but getting that Gate/Section/Row/Seat part looks important.

I'd go for condensed Helvetica in a couple of different weights, I think. Safe.

Raiders or maybe Puma.

Seconding the no one remembers notion.

High school sports usually use a generic Square-Serif font.

Here are some you can download for free:

• Varsity
• Octin Sports
• SF Sports Night

All good suggestions, thanks, but Puma is pretty much what I had in mind. Appreciate the help!

You could also use the Concert ticket generator.
