Ticket Manufacturers Australia Numbering

Last modified/checked: Saturday, 3rd September, 2011
TMA (Ticket Manufacturers Australia) metcards first appeared during December 2003, in a limited area trial on the Sandringham line.
By late February 2004, their use had become widespread, so much so that it appears they are now the major supplier of machine based cards.
The TMA metcards feature a "T" designator, although the sequence and numbering of the designators are not what we are used to!

rxo

The ticket numbers are the only printing on the boxes, as illustrated above.
Numbering is presumed to have started at 000,000,001 and continue "upwards" sequentially.
Again, this list is an approximation of the numbering; any gaps in the sequence are unknown at this stage.

The list

The commas are shown to clarify the ticket number. They do not appear on the actual tickets.
Number groups (by millions) are currently shown. For details within each group, click the "details" link in the right hand column.
Remember, these are very approximate guesses of number groups and dates!!

Latest alterations are shown in RED
