The line is a reference to the Jesus Freaks handing out LSD (tickets) during that era.
Where did you get this idea? Because I was under the impression that this referenced those tiny little 4-8 page "are you saved?", "heaven or hell?" type booklets that the street Christians used to always pass out on the street in the 70's (probably still do).
Hence, the next lines about her laughing and that "the boulevard is not that bad", indicating that Sunset Blvd might be a bit edgy but not so bad that it needed the work of a savior.
I see the handing out LSD thing as more of a 60's thing. But if you have Bernie Taupin talking about his lyrics, referencing the LSD then i really can't dispute it.
My New Year's resolution is to simply write 2̶0̶1̶4̶ 2015 instead of 2014"
