The Ticket Stub manifests as a rectangular piece of cardstock with a serrated perforation down one edge, the tear pattern encoding each player's attendance history like a punch card. The date stamp updates in real-time, bleeding through multiple simulations simultaneously - showing not just when you showed up, but to which of the 16 theaters. The seat assignment printed in bold Blockbuster-gold typography corresponds directly to your survival ranking, making your physical position in the theater a public declaration of your status.

Operates as both proof and consequence - the stub validates your presence while simultaneously recording the debt you owe for claiming that seat, making admission the beginning of obligation rather than the end.
