To find the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket, we can start by determining the price per individual ticket when a set of 3 tickets is sold for $5.00.

First, we find the cost of one ticket:

\[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \frac{5.00}{3} \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \frac{5.00}{3} \approx 1.6667 \]

Rounded to the nearest cent, this is:

\[ 1.67 \]

Thus, the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket is \( \boxed{1.67} \).
