I do.
My friend does as well. He recently framed a load of them. This sounds a bit silly I know, but they have been correctly mounted and he has added pictures that he has taken from some of the gigs as well, so they do look really nice.
Do you collect ticket stubs? if so, what would be your most treasured? (if you can put it like that)
Mine is probably a Libertines stub. It's treasured because it was from a really early gig at the Sugarmill in 2002.
I've got a few.
I'm not entirely sure that I treasure them. I'm not entirely sure why I keep them to be honest. It's not as if I ever look at them. Same as old payslips. And a photo of Roni Size. I just can't bring myself to throw them away.
You put them in the lazy draw then.
Everyone has a lazy draw. It's the draw you stick everything in when you are tidying up your room and there are bits and peices leftover.
I love my lazy draw
it also contains porn, some fake blood, a bicycle bell, and fluffy bunny ears...yeahhh.
yes yes
i also have fake blood in my lazy draw and those headphones you get every time you get a free mobile upgrade.
Yup
I have them all in order in my gig books along with any flyers, setlists, pics etc. I love looking back.
I don't think I have a most treasured . . . oh wait, Blur Singles Tour!
^
i'm on my second scrapbook of them.
i do look it over quite often actually.
It's not a 'scrapbook'
It's a 'memory book'.
Ask thewarn.
Yeh, I have got a couple of bags full.
Whenever I move house I always make sure I don't lose sight of them.
I hope you lot aren't being sarcastic!
yep.
have a bag full i intend to one day frame (non chronolically and a bit messily).
would be impossible to chose a most treasured one
Nope
yup
ive got a photo album thing that they are in - not in order or anything, i just shove them in the first sleeve thats not full. keep all my festival wristbands/flyers/what not as well, just something to look back on really.
I have got most of my glasto one's I think.
Well, since the new wall was built anyway!
;-)
Yup
I put them in the CD case of the artist, right at the front!
this is what i do too,
then when i listen to the album the gig is fresh in me mind.
yes i do
i recently got an a3 frame and put all my favourites together and bunged it up in the kitchen, looks great
my most treasured is the stone roses spike island...not the greatest gig ever but it's a lovely ticket
Blimey, thats a legendary one.
I bet that would be worth a few quid.
They usually
end up under my bed, or as a pile of washed pulp when I've left them in when washing my jeans. Or used as bookmarks.
I have a scrapbook
containing tickets and the very occasional setlist (mostly Arcade Fire), although since I buy most of my stuff from Wegottickets nowadays I don't do it as much any more...
i keep most of them in a little box.
my favourite is Daft Punk, Amsterdam.. 2007.
I lost my ticket stub...
...momentarily at the recent BSP gig at Koko after getting some beers in - so I retraced my steps back to the bar, and saw it had slid into a pile of sick.
I love me ticket stubs - so I was well pissed off.
Do you know the lightweight who threw up at that gig, on the far right of the bar at the back?
I did...
..until i moved out and my dad threw out all my ticket stubs along with my NME's. he doesn't understand why you would wanna keep such stuff, but it's all memories!
i try to
but i always end up losing them. i used to stick them into my diary along with a small summary of whether the gig was good or not.
i have
a collage on my bedroom wall of all my tickets and other gig paraphanalia. I might submit it for the Turner Prize :p
Don't be silly, only serious nominations are considered.
Like people dressing up in bear suits and walking around an empty gallery.
yep
they're kind of scattered all over my bedroom. I bought a book to put them in but never got around to it.
Most treasured is Hold Steady at Koko in Feb, but that's more to do with who I was there with than the gig itself...
Jesus
?
nah
he's with me all the time
YES
in photo albums. I now have two of them which makes me mighty proud =)
keep 'em in photo albums as well
Tatty envelope full of them
dating back to 1987/88...(just missing out on my 'metal years' stubs for the likes of Maiden, Wasp, Cult, Aerosmith etc) Tickets used to look so much better than the bog standard 'ticketweb' bit of card you get these days. I'm quite proud of my ticket for Mudhoney at the Astoria in 1989 where Nirvana & Tad supported. Plus all the early indie ones I went to like Ride, Galaxie 500, Loop where I was a fresh faced and excited young man. I keep all the festival wristbands as well. Quite nice coming across them every so often and having a trip down memory lane.
Like, fuck!?!?
^wins thread!
I have a tin full of them going back to 1996 or so, but none as cool as Mudhoney supported by Nirvana!
thanks
It's good keeping one like that as when it's mentioned people tend to go "yeah, right, of course you saw them back then" in disbelieving tones. Wallop. Out comes the stub. Even better is the fact that all the support acts stage dived during Mudhoneys set, inc big man Tad, and little Kurt ended up standing right next to me. Great moment. I'd only just got Bleach as well, I think.
Christ, what days.
Yeah, I have a 'gig ticket wall'
with flyers and stubs and stuff which I've tacked up.
I'M A STUDENT!
yeah
every time i look through them i see a gig i had forgotten all about
yeah, i do
in fact, i recently went mental and tore apart my room because i thought mum had thrown out all my tickets - past gigs and upcoming!
she hadn't - she'd just put them in a folder. it would've been nice if she'd told me though, before i ripped the place to shit.
i put therm all on my wall
which is a very teenagerish thing to do but i like them showing
I stick them on the wall as well.
Probably the nicest ticket-which I lost- was for one of Interpol's alexandra palace shows last year.
I have an album.
That I keep my Big Black, Rapeman, Killdozer, Pixies, Madonna and other 80's/90's stubbs in.
I also have a lazy draw. After time, the stubs are promoted to the even lazier box. Which will one day end up as other albums.
Ticket stubs are a bit mundane nowadays though.
For ages I did
but then tickets became dull rubbish and I lost interest. You used to get the Band name matching their artwork (got a Manic Street Preacher from the Holy Bible era with the backward R's commie style!)
bah humbug things were better when I was a kid etc...
i keep all mine
i have hundreds! i jus have them in a bag under the bed. my most prized on is either my foo fighters one which i got signed on their first ever uk tour, or the nirvana one i have for the manchester gmex gig that never was they cancelled gig for obvious reasons, but i kept my ticket
i have all my ones since i've been at uni on a pinboard
and all my ones from before are in a box in my house somewhere. i don't really treasure them but i have some which are signed which is nice. i like the ones with numbers on where i have a really early number like los campesinos at shef uni in october where i have ticket number one 8-)
Yep, I keep them in my memory box!
oops, I forgot to sign in as thewarn!
I stuck mine on my wardrobe door before I came to uni
There were some good ones.
The best was a (free) ticket to see (and meet) Blue, much to my boyfriend's delight. Piss ripped. Oh, and Ja Rule. That too.
I can recall Jay-Z at Wembley, N.E.R.D at the Hammersmith Apollo, The Roots, Winehouse when she 18 and had meat on her bones... Oh my.
i used to
but i'm far too old to worry about such things these days.
or rather, unlike when i was younger i don't go to that many gigs these days that actually have tickets!
i've kept every one i've not lost
as a bit of nostalgia! I can see myself framing some of the earlier and standout ones sometime
I keep all mine
and have them all up on walls/ceiling of bathroom. Have them from 1992 onwards. Feel bad because I lost all mines in 1987 and again in 1991 so have a blank period from 1983-1992. Miss stubs like P.I.L, The Stranglers, Iggy Pop, Ramones etc. Don't know if I have a most treasured
Yes, I do.
But they're not in any particular order, just all over the place.
This is to avoid becoming too much like my mother. Or my friend Joey, who marks each stub with stars out of 5, and lists all of the support bands, and probably what he was wearing and any cute girls he spoke to on the night too. I imagine he has several photo books full of 'em. Hmm.
