A ticket processing terminal device includes a hopper to store medium that is to become prescribed tickets, a separation and pick-up section for separating and picking up one sheet of medium at a time from the hopper, a stacker to store those of the tickets inserted through the insertion opening which are replaced by the medium, a print section for printing on the ticket that has been inserted through the insertion opening or the medium picked up from the hopper, and is to be discharged through a discharge opening, a transport path to transport the tickets and medium between the above mentioned component elements, and a ticket information reader for magnetically or optically reading the information that has been given to the ticket, and a magnetic write section disposed along the transport path for writing, erasing or rewriting on the magnetic stripe if the ticket inserted through the insertion opening or the medium picked up from the hopper has such a magnetic stripe. The terminal device can accept a plurality of tickets, temporarily store them, and subsequently reissue either modified versions of less than the original number inserted or a new medium to replace the plural inserted tickets.
