The Timeline Guy
Now obviously the MCU has contradicted the days of the week before, but September 23rd is a Friday in 2016, not 2017.
Maybe you're right and that dance is going to be set in 2017, but there are rumours that the movie will span the entire school year, so it's possible that the movie begins in September 2016 and last until June or July 2017 (switch would align with the release date).
I think as long as it's just a tentative placement and this ticket is the only thing we have to go on, we should take it at face value and set it in September 2016.

As you said, the day of the week/date thing doesn't align with real world dates so to do so now would be odd.
We'll see, it may occur in 2016 but one thing I do agree with in regards to the real world placement is at least the release year. With the exception of a few films (Cap-TFA, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk) the films all occur in at least the year they're released. And in IM2 and IH's case they were retconned to occurring in 2011 after their release.
The other thing is, if the film lasts the whole school year, well, that's weird, given the Homecoming dance happens in September and is presumably set towards end of film (probably a third act scene just before the final villain fight at climax), so I'm not sure how the film can cover the whole school year when taking that into account.
Guess we'll see.
But yeah, I wouldn't worry about the day of the week, as said those have never aligned correctly.
