Let p be the regular price of each ticket. Since there is a discount of $1.50 off the regular price, the discounted price of each ticket is p - $1.50.
The total cost of 6 tickets is $51, so we can write the equation: 6(p - $1.50) = $51.
To solve for p, we can distribute the 6 to get: 6p - 9 = $51.
Adding 9 to both sides, we have: 6p = $60.
Dividing both sides by 6, we get: p = $10.
Therefore, the regular price of each ticket is $10.
