A rain check is the part of the ticket that is also referred to as a Stub, after it is torn from the full ticket. The remaining portion of a ticket ripped off when attending a game. A rain check is used if the game (or event) is postponed or rained out, to attend the game at a later date. Today Full Tickets are more common where as tickets are scanned upon entry as opposed to "ripped." When entering an event the ticket will be scanned and returned to you. This would be your raincheck. If not scanned the ticket will ripped and the raincheck will be handed to you so you could find your seat, or if the event is postponed, you save the raincheck for future use.
