Scarce original ticket to the 1962 President Kennedy's Birthday Party held at Madison Square Garden. Known widely as the Happy Birthday Mr President event that where Marilyn Monroe gave a sultry rendition of the popular song to JFK. This is a special and scarce ticket to the "Presidential Enclosure Orchestra" where tickets were $1,000 each. A key iconic item missing from most John F Kennedy or Marilyn Monroe collections. The event was held May 19, 1962. As mentioned above, this ticket was issued to the special "Presidential Enclosure" where VIP and high value contributors were sitting, so while it is not in pristine condition it is one of the choice tickets to the event. Most tickets to the event have the stub detached from the right side upon entry to the event After all, how many people would spend up to $1,000 and not attend! This ticket has a small portion of the stub still attached at the top right. We thought about removing the partial stub before listing this ticket for sale, but felt we would leave that decision up to its new owner. The ticket has a background stain at the top left as well as a small edge tear about mid way up the left edge and a corner wear. The ticket appears to have been mounted at one time, perhaps in a scrapbook as their are paper remnants on the reverse. The name of the ticket recipient "Sheila Beilen" is written lightly on the front upper left margin and again on the reverse. Comes with our 100% guarantee of authenticity.
Historical Notes
The event was sponsored by New York's Birthday Salute to the President, Inc. and sponsored by the State and National Democratic Committee and Citizens for Kennedy.
