Jared Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 my bro have over 1000 stubs and only from real concerts. all over the place, another friend of mine has around 500, and he did what you are saying, he framed them in collage form by date, in about 6 large frames, they are along the wall inb this hall, its really cool cause you can look threw them and find cool dead shows, and a few are auto0graphed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have every ticket stub I have ever used. I have around 1000- 1500. Probably just about every show I have attended (even the small clubs where I would make a point to buy in advance to get a stub). I have so many and so many of my friends know about it, I have even been given a gift to store them in. A friend of mine bought me a nice wooden box with a Phish on it.... and had a brass plaque attached that reads "Golgi Apparatus" (I saw you with the ticket stub in your hand). It'll make great wall art some day..... Sean ps. My favorite is the I Mother Earth, Headstones, Our Lady Peace triple bill from high school when no one had heard of any of them and the whole show was $4!

Blane Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Sadly, I had almost all of my stubs from about '94-'99 and lost them in the process of moving overseas. I now only have about 3 or 4 of those early ones left. I've restarted my collection, but it just isn't the same anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinw Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I collect stubs too, and keep them in an album. One day I will frame them all, but only once I know that I am not going to see a certain band anymore. Until then I will use the album, and finally frame when I have a nice complete set of stubs. I have everything since about 1989, but I am missing a ton where stubs weren't given because we bought at the door of a club, or they just didn't have tickets!

Swan Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'd be surprised if anybody on the board had over 300 stubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I generally stick them in the cd case of the band. However for a few of them I've taken pictures of the show or posters for the show and made a framed thing with pictures/poster and tickets. Looks pretty cool.

I easily have over a 1000, and maybe more. I used to have a corkboard in my room in high school and started keeping them back then. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm with Northern Wish, I've got every one of mine since highschool. The pride and joy of my collection is Alice Cooper, Kingston Memorial Centre, Jan. 4 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 My biggest issue with a lot of the shows I catch locally is that there aren't any stubs... I'm sometimes forced to use losing raffle tickets or parking lot receipts as "stubs" for my collection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 yup i've got a whack of them too - - only missing maybe 4 or 5 and i've got them written down in with all the stubs. Got a beauty 'kids in the hall' from 94 that they all autographed and a Leonard Cohen one with his scrawl on it...I also managed to keep all my rave flyers(jeezus i wonder how really) Anyways, a caution - remember that most tickets(ie ticketbastard) are printed using thermal ink. Put those on a wall in a frame and 2 months of non-direct sunlight will wipe them blank. You'll be left with the greatest collection of blank ticketstubs ever. My highschool concert buddy used to put all his stubs under the glass top of his parents bar - by the time HS was over, they were all blank....

Del Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Got all my rave flyers too... my favorite has to be from the last rave they had at the Ontario Science Centre... words can't begin to describe that night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Wow I bet that was pretty far out. Seems to me this crazy band called "Legion of Green Men" used to play late night gigs at the Science Center. I kinda wish I'd been to a rave at some point. When I was living in Vancouver there was this crazy rave out in the woods on night, by the beach. Dee-Lite was playing. I always regret not going.

Guest Low Roller Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I totally collect ticket stubs. I'm pretty vigilant with concert tickets, but I also have major parting issues with movie tickets (especially big opening night ones!), and other miscellaneous ones like sports tickets. My concert ticket stubs have been framed and are proudly displayed on my wall. I have the same problem as Del-Head. I wish a lot of local shows had ticket stubs... I remember seeing a ton of epic shows like African Heritage Ensemble, Moses Mayes, legendary Nero shows, Smokestack, etc... it would be nice to have those stubs if these bands become commonplace names five years from now.

Groove Fetish Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 with peter's help i've gotta be close to three hundred- if not over. Peter keeps all his crammed in a Ben and Jerry's tub and mine are chronologically in an album- and its funny to see how many shows I saw per year before I hung with Pete and how many I see now!

questcequecest? Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 yup. stuff 'em all in a tazmanian devil mug i got from KFC... the mug is full, mug two is from Almost Heaven, PA... its getting there. my favorite stub is a piece of paper tied to a string. my friend made it in the parking lot of some punk festival in woodstock... anyone remember 'on the 11th day'?? hahah... we went into the food vending booth, and made our own food, and our own tickets... the party ended at 2, so we ransacked woodstock all night, tagging along this guy who lost his ride (arrested for selling lsd) then, we made breakfast while the seniors played bingo.... what a night. the dude without the ride couldnt believe the shit we were up to... especially when we greeeted him with a plate full of breakfast at 7 am. i drove the lsd dealers van back to k-town and left it in victoria park, as per the lsd dudes instructions... then home to bed. (i also still have the original ticket stub, i never needed it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I got a ton of stubs, collect them all...I actually only go to shows just to get the ticket stubs...I fucking hate music. Favorite has got to be the backstage pass from Phish Hampton, its got Freddie Wasington from "Welcome Back Kotter" on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 when my parents had a house fire in 1994, all of my Grateful Dead stubs were still pinned to a corkboard in my old bedroom...they didn't make it out on time i'm looking at one of my older stubs... Rod Stewart 1984 when I was 15 at the CNE, $17.50 the Eurythmics opened and Rod kicked soccer balls into the crowd during his show I have an unused ticket here for Days Of You w/ Solar Circus (from the states i believe) 1991 @ Lee's Palace Something else i started saving were my laminates from working with DSO Pete the old road manager made the majority of them and gave me all the pre-bones lammies as well, so i've got 26 (or more) of them as souvenirs of the old days Pete always did the art work to give clues of a different Dead song each tour, and everybody would try to figure out which tune it was...

Velvet Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 August 2, 1983. Loverboy w/ the Headpins. The stub went in and album and I've saved 'em all since then - now 3 albums big. They were smoke damaged from the fire, but I will re-album them. I've lost 3 tickets so far - first Dead, first Ween, and Sunday's Dylan show.

secondtube Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 i dont think i own a sports ticket stub....lol Think how many shows you've seen sean, where you didn't get a stub. now i'm not counting those...but imagine.... people in our scene see lots of music. its grrrrreat. i hope i've seen a 1000 shows by age 30. That'd be awesome... I wonder if Big Cypress would still be my favorite??? I imagine it would. eh, have you decided which Bowie show(s) your going to?

Esau Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I keep all mine,although I am missing quite a few from over the years. First Dylan - 04.19.1980 Massey Hall. First GD - 06.21.1984 Canada's Wonderland My ma used to drag me around to alot of shows in the 70's.First fest I recall well was Mariposa Folk fest - Harbour Islands, Toronto 1975 (I was 5),I may have the stub around but I doubt it. One un-used GD ticket from march 93 Ohio,first night was cancelled due to the snow storm.Deadbase doesn't even have it listed as cancelled or that it was scheduled. Not sure exactly how many I have been at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 my guess is you have about as many stubs as you do posts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
