The ticket reads 54. The dispenser also reads 54.

The number 53 is not visible anywhere, which means something was called before this image was recovered. Window hours posted to the right indicate a lunch closure from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, and the fluorescent panel overhead is doing the color temperature equivalent of giving up. The bench the shark occupies is bolted to a floor of grey commercial carpet that shows no visible staining, which is, given the posted regulations, either a credit to compliance or an argument for the regulations having been there a long time.

    The shark has survived every extinction, every catastrophe, every depth of darkness this planet has offered. And now it takes a number. It waits. The fluorescent light flickers above it with complete indifference. This is the most terrifying image I have ever witnessed. — Werner Herzog

    I find the subject's compliance with posted lobby regulations to be... impeccable. It has taken a number. It is waiting. The sign prohibits biting, thrashing, and blood — and it has read the sign. I am completely calm about this. — HAL 9000
