A holding device for cards and/or tickets, containing an upwardly open housing (2), which has a base (6), wherein the base (6) has side members (10, 12), which protrude upwards and which are arranged at a distance to each other,
- wherein the inner contact surfaces (10a, 12a) of the side members (10, 12) are arranged parallel to one another,
- wherein the side members (10, 12) together with the base (6) form an insertion compartment which has, along a defined clamping length (K), an insertion width (E) in a lower area of the insertion compartment which is greater than 52 mm and less than 53.98 mm,
- wherein when a card and/or ticket is received in the insertion compartment, the side members (10, 12) clamp the card and/or ticket in a lateral direction,
- wherein the insertion width (E) in the lower area of the insertion compartment widens in an upward direction to an upper area of the insertion compartment,
- wherein the insertion width (E) in the upper area of the insertion compartment lies between 54 mm and 54.2 mm and/or widens from 53.98 mm in an intermediate area of the insertion compartment between the lower area of the insertion compartment and the upper area of the insertion compartment to a value that lies in the range between 54 mm and 54.2 mm in the upper area of the insertion compartment, and
- wherein at least one clip (4) is provided which engages from above into the upwardly open housing (2), wherein, if neither cards nor tickets are placed in the housing (2), the at least one clip (4) is situated partially between the side members (10, 12) and extends with a free end (36) at least approximately as far as the base (6).
