<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 8060673, member: 10944"]A very cool collection and a sad one for one reason only. I’ve loved attending concerts (other events as well but mostly concerts) since grade school. I’ve been to hundreds since then and enjoy collecting my ticket stubs. They are so fun to look back at and remember certain nights, with old friends, or old lovers, or what have you. A real trip down memory lane. Speaking of which as you look back many you had forgotten you even went to at all. Without them I would have totally forgotten about lots of them. Fast forward to current day and the ticket stub is a thing of the past. You can’t even get a physical ticket now if you want it when you buy online. Some places still have a physical box office but I’m sure they will all be gone soon too. In the somewhat earlier days of online ticket buying I would just scour the floor on the walk out of the venue and inevitably find a stub for my collection. These days there isn’t one to be found. I’ll even walk the rows sometimes looking for one if I’m not in a rush (almost always to my partner in crimes chagrin) and can’t find one to save my life. Maybe it’s a childish desire to save them but it makes me sad that my collection has ended. It’s been 25 years or so since I’ve been going to shows and those early ones from the late 90’s are starting to have some value I’d imagine. As a kid I’d hang out after shows and have some of them signed if I could. The times they are always a changin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
