MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 03/29/2017 7:19 pm Funny to find this thread today. I just found some unused NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Championship tickets stuffed in a book today. They are not very old though. From 2010. Do people really collect these?

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 01:14 am Sure they do! I'm guessing many modern tickets are kept more as remembrances, but a memorable game or concert is good enough reason. Tonight I'll add an item that is not quite a ticket, but served as one. It's a 1900 annual pass for free passage on the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad. It ran on more than 500 miles of track in Michigan's upper peninsula. Report this Post to the Staff

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 06:06 am There are some phenomenal tickets on this thread. I hope these are not off topic, but none of them have any numismatic connection. Mostly race and concert tickets fro the 70's, 80's and 90's. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12816 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 8:25 pm @GregAlex, that Pan-Pac ticket is excellent. I've visited the Palace of Fine Arts a couple times on trips to San Francisco, and while I realize it's not the original building depicted in the vignette above, it's still an amazing structure. The first time I visited, I didn't grasp its significance (particularly related to the world of numismatics) and just throught it was a really cool building. Now I know better. @Steve: Supertramp...Ted Nugent... niiiiiice. Are these tickets from shows and events you've personally attended? I try to save all my old ticket stubs so I enjoy looking at others'. Report this Post to the Staff
GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 11:02 pm CelticKnot, I never realized the Palace had been rebuilt. One of my favorite buildings in San Francisco. I've got a slew of old postcards from that exposition, but that would be a whole different thread. Steve did you go to all those events? Those are pretty awesome! No numismatic connection required, I just happen to collect engraved tickets. Btw, I did not attend the Panama-Pacific Expo. Somewhere I have a coffee can of old stubs going back to the '80s. Wonder what's down at the bottom of that... Edited by GregAlex 04/16/2018 11:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/17/2018 04:34 am Yes, all of the tickets were events I attended. I was a huge Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan, and went to many Winston Cup NASCAR races throughout the southeast. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187950 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 10:41 am Interesting topic. I have many, many tickets from sporting events, concerts, movies, and other things. Might need to round them up for some photographs.

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 02:14 am I dug out that old can of ticket stubs -- stuffed to the top. Brought back a lot of memories sifting through it. Man, I went to a lot of movies! Mostly forgettable, along with a lot of other events, but some were pretty cool. More than anything I remember who I went with and what my life was about at that moment. I won't bore you with the movie stubs, but here are some of the more interesting tickets. Those were the days, my friends... Report this Post to the Staff

Hoxsie454 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 08:22 am Thanks to all who posted their historic tickets and admission passes. Really neat! I will post mine, when I find them! One of my pet peeves is when I buy tickets from the ticket cashier, then I take a few steps to the ticket taker who tears them in half and returns a stub to me. Aggh! Report this Post to the Staff
GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 06/12/2018 4:26 pm So here's something a bit unusual. For the World Columbian Stamp Expo in 1992, American Bank Note Company issued a series of six souvenir cards featuring reprints of the original 1893 Chicago World's Fair tickets. All the tickets were printed from the original engraved plates. The originals are actually pretty easy to find, except for the Handel and Franklin tickets -- many tens of thousands were issued. By comparison, these souvenir cards are very scarce. ABNC only printed about 2000 sets. Edited by GregAlex 06/12/2018 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
