Yes, I have stuff from the 70's 80's 90's and present. Have stubs for concerts and sports, baseball, hockey, football and basketball etc.
 

i have a friend who sells his old stubs to some company that pays pretty good $$ for old ones.I'll try & find out more info.
 

I have all of mine. Around 53 shows between '72 and '80 something. Gary

I collect drum heads signed by bands and vinyl records and pics
 

That's cool , I did notice the Drum heads signed when u posted yr display picture.

I could never get that close to a band , I did have 4th row for 'The Motor City Madman' at a small venue. To bad I hid it then found it a month after the show :BangHead:

Hence the Unused ticket that I spoke of.

I am very good at getting to the bands some times I follow the tour bus after or you can find it at the nicer hotels. They are always really cool about stuff like that.

lol!...I have a friend who does that...she always scores something!

I've kept most of my ticket stubs too...I don't know exactly where the old ones are right now??? I saw Elvis in June of 1977, almost two months to the day before he died in August. I wasn't even old enough to drive! lol! I've got that ticket stub somewhere with pics. I should look for that stuff.

Lost WAY more than I ended up keeping... and don't remember even keeping the ones I do have...
MINUS the signed ones which for obvious reasons I kept.

Sheesh if I kept every ticket... for music and musicians have been parts of my life.

Heh... Guess you could say I was sorta born in it... My first "show" was in my moms arms in San Francisco Golden Gate Park 1969... Age ... less than 1.

Prolly what is wrong with me. :)

:P
 

If you told me AC/DC Stones ZZ top Vanhalen Rush (My favorate saw thier last show) Scorpians ect ect ect would still be playing in 2018 If you told me that in the 1880s I ould have asked you to pass the pipe lol
 

I keep all my sports ticket stubs, if the opportunity presents itself I get an autograph on them.
 

I don't collect them but i did keep the stubs from the concerts i have attended.
 

Here are a few early ones, I have a scrap book full of them.A1E7EC11-7B52-4360-AE3E-4DC5DA54282E.jpeg8A7F5D7F-1C1D-4758-908C-5927993C98E1.jpegB9B70E0F-F4B8-49AC-9F21-E97DA70C2D0C.jpeg
 

Cream and the Doors? You must be an old guy. Don't you love this prices on these old stubs. Zep for $7.50. I saw them in '75 and my ticket was also $7.50 but stamped over in ink "$8.50". They got an extra buck out of me. Today it would probably cost you $200 to see Zeppelin. Gary
 

Yeah, just an old Hippie! Cream was my 17th birthday present, Nov 4, my parents let me go to my 1st concert, big mistake! That one changed my life forever. LOL! I like your collection also, we saw a lot of the same bands on the same tours. Saw them all, my favorites multiple times, every time they toured. They were great times. Wouldn’t trade the memories and wild times for the world. We saw music history being made!
 

I have a ton of them from traveling with the Grateful Dead in the 80s and 90s. My friend has a backstage pass collection worth an insane amount of money. Talk about groundscores after the concerts!!! I like the old ticketmaster tickets with the sparkles! Such a fun time in my life!! I would have loved to have attended those concerts Flipper, love those bands!! I also wish I would have been into collecting tee shirts!
