Concert/Sporting Event Ticket Stubs

[vectordawg]

Who has a box of old ticket stubs in the back of their closet or buried in a drawer? I’m showing my age here a bit but I thought this might be fun. Here’s one of my favorites. The Omni was in downtown Atlanta and is long gone now.

I saw Merle Haggard and Chris LeDoux years and years ago but never kept the stubs.

I got to see Haggard a couple of years before he died.

I saw him at the Anne Morrison in Boise around 2008 or thereabouts. Glad I did. I'm not really into going to concerts but that was a great show. Chris LeDoux was great too. That guy had a lot of energy.

I have a couple hundred.

A bunch are on a board thing on my office wall.

Funny , saw Dwight about 2 years ago at a small venue in minnesota . Those guys played for about 2 hours non-stop . Great show for an old guy

Mine are in the same box as my filled tags. I still get kinda bummed about digital tickets

I was at the last Yankees vs Redsox game in the old Yankee stadium before they tore it down. I'm not a sports guy and never thought to save the ticket. Oops haha.

Got a bunch in a box somewhere.

My first concert was in 1986. ZZ Top at The Coliseum, aka “The Madhouse on McDowell” in Phoenix.

Ticket was $17!

I was a Braves fan so I hated the Yankees but I still wish I would’ve seen a game in NY at the old stadium.

No ticket stub, but I went to a big concert in Bethel NY in 1969. Even though it was in Bethel, they called it Woodstock. Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the family Stone, Grateful Dead, Santana, CCR, Janis Joplin and lots more. On two week leave from the Navy, and my buddy, who's also in the navy, said want to go to a concert. I said anyone I know playing there?

Ha! That’s a great story!!

I've got a couple of cigar boxes full of stuff like that. Inside each box is a child's name, dob, and weight. I bought a box of cigars for each child and kept the box.

When we do something special with good memories, the movie stubs, punched tags, recepts, etc., go in there. My youngest's box has a cherry soda lid from the first bottle of cherry soda we shared together when a wee tot.

Someday, I'll give it to them. They don't even know they exist.

I’m not a judge, but I’d say you won the concert story if this was a contest.
