Great one, Zumsteim!
It goes back to the times the ticket was a little note affixed to a wall, a board, and so on. It was stuck on something.
In old English from Frankish [1] *stikkan it got the sense/meaning of "pierce"
In other words, now we know where the "deixar no prego" comes from!

Frankish - mistureba de francês com inglês, como dizemos do Portuenglish, ou ainda dizemos do Portunhol.
