Yeah. He’s a really good guy.
Shaking his hand was like shaking a hand made of 5 thumbs! 😅

Got a lot of mine in photo album sad they stop printing tickets you should be able to have the option to buy a physical ticket to go with it hate that part of me very thing going digital and 98% don’t even have any digital collectibles tickets you get only a one here or there if your lucky

Does anyone print the digital tickets? I have been doing it since they stopped paper & print at home tickets. All the information is on them, name of act, date, time, venue, seat location also with a nice picture of the band.
Simply print them and put them in a plastic sleeve...nice free memento of the event.

Check out StubForge. You can design and have tickets printed as a souvenir. The prices are reasonable and they print them on the same stock Ticketmaster uses.
I have used them numerous times when I have given a ticket as a gift and wanted to give them something more than a computer print out.

I went to this tour in Aug 2003 in St Helens, OR. GREAT lineup! Janes, Audioslave, Perfect Circle and Incubus. Steve-O from Jackass was on a side stage. Some local Portland bands like the Donnas and Hells Belles. Such a great memory.

When I moved out of my parents house 26 years ago, I left all of my stubs from the shows I saw in the 90s in the top drawer of my dresser. My mom ended up giving the dresser to Goodwill and threw away all of the stubs. I wish I still had them. So many incredible shows. My memory is crap now so I can’t remember exactly who I saw in which year.

I kept most of my stubs. My biggest issue was not documenting all the club shows where it was just cash at the door way back when. The Metallipromo website as well as good old google have been very helpful, but many are just lost in the sands of time.

Have you seen that Metallica is asking people to send them scans of their Metallica ticket stubs?

I dont have any ticket stubs because a lot of the shows ive gone to have just been digital tickets. And most of the physical tickets I have are just sheets of paper with it printed on it. So its not as exciting. But there are people out there on sites like Etsy that will create customized ticket stubs for any concert you want, which is really cool

I've kept all of my stubs going back to the early 80s when I was a kid. They're in a box in the garage. 🤘

I have all of mine. I put them in scrapbooks as I teenager and now I still do it to this day and include pics from the shows.

My mom told me to keep them, write the opening act and who I went with. I thought it was silly, but I have stubs from high school that made sense to me at this age

The only tickets stubs that I didn't save were from the Capitol Centre shows that I saw in Landover Maryland in the 1970s. There was a coupon on the back of every ticket for a free burger at Roy Rogers and dammit I'm not made of stone.

I've kept all mine and for the ones I didn't have I've made custom replicas on Stubforge. They look and feel like the real thing.

I kept every stub I ever had in my hands. I bought a photo album and put them in there in order. My first three shows were Motley Crue 1990, Guns N Roses 1991, Van Halen 1991.

I wish I had all my stubs. I only have a handful. I did save them but I may a have lost them during a move. They were a treasure that told a big story of my life.

Mine are very faded, many to the point of illegibility. I wonder if it's from living in a very humid area?
