These shares entitled the holder (and guest) to attend ‘Musick and Dramatick Art’ free of charge. The tickets were not transferable, but the shareholders named (including Æneas) had their shares re-acquired compulsorily by the Company because they abused their privileges by giving or selling the tickets to non-shareholders. This suggests that all the Coffeys had now left Dublin.
