looking at a site from an ad in RS Magazine for ticketstub notebook, I got a chuckle from one of the sample tickets -- its 930 club for "Elton John" in 2004. It's clear the font for "Elton John" is different than tickets.com printing. A cursory look at the other samples shows the other tickets to be legit, I think. Strange and funny they elected to photoshop a 930 stub. (Or did I miss an Elton John show t the club??)

thats quite the awesome idea. but id need a lot of those books and a lot more room. granted i have a similar notebook for playbills and all other sorts of things - i should probably just get it.
-
this is a cool find, and rather timely: i just bought a scrapbook this weekend (don't laugh, it's covered in jean material - very manly) to organize the junk-drawer that is my current ticket stub filing "system". spent $44 on it and some filler pages. two or three of these might do a better job, and potentially look a tad cooler.
i don't think elton has ever played the 930.

I have one of these. It's pretty cool, but if you have tons of stubs, get two!

OMFG. beets, i love you. that's me, summed up in 32.8 KB.

a friend uses the filler pages for business cards in a notebook.
what fillers are you guys using?
I thought to use photo sized fillers but don't want them sliding.

i dont think the club had tickts.com in 2004.

Yeah they did. They started using it in 2002 or 2003. The last ticket I ever bought from Ticketmaster for a 930 club show was the mighty mighty bosstones in January of 2002.

off the top of my head i know it was tickets.com in august of 02.. can't remember before that. i'm not sure if i went to anything between july 01 and august 02 to say exact when it started.

After getting tired of hanging on to piles of loose crap that I never actually looked at, I realized a better approach was to digitize stuff like this:

Oh no, I'm a tactile person. I even have albums and cds. ;)
I will look into the biz card fillers, but they are pricey.
-
Does anybody else just simply throw their ticket stubs away?
-
im the exact same way! lately all my ticket stubs have ended in freezer bags and are just stored away. and the cds - well i ran out of room for more but still buy more. lately ive encountered the problem of way too great of an offer on amazon to buy it digital and have to do it. Years of Refusal (moz) - $3.99 on Amazon! oh yeah! count me in

i have a metal tin with all my ticket stubs (and passes, wristbands, etc) in it.. .i'd like to have some sort of physical album or something though...
as far as tickets.com, my thoughts would be sometime in 2002.
i don't throw away ticket stubs. i don't throw away anything. i'm a ridiculous packrat. i have all of my movie ticket stubs back to 1993 even.

ok, that's OTT. i have a few ticket stubs for really memorable movies - but just a few. same with sporting events - i have a few playoff, opening day, first date, etc stubs... but not every single one. i guess i consider sporting event a little more interchangeable. live music is always one-of-a-kind (except maybe for Battles ;))

i still have my NES box + instructions from 1987. i do'nt know.. not every movie or show i've gotten a stub from, so i suppose i haven't had the option to keep them all... i just decided one day to start keeping them and have been since. the older ones with the blue-ish/purple ink print have all almost completely faded now.. the once since they started using the heat-based printing (i'm assuming) -- those are all good. i've got all my sporting event stubs except for one from 1992 (which i may actually have somewhere)... but i don't go to many sporting events. i suppose also, as far as movies go.. i really only go to 2-3 per year for the past 5-6 years or so... it's not as many as you might think.

I have that AND a working Intellivision with about 30 games in their original boxes. Anybody want a 512K original Mac, Apple IIe or Atari 2600, make me an offer, but that Intelivision is NOT for sale! I wondered for a long time where I got my tech packrat habit from from until I realized my old man has at least a dozen working 8-track players (including an in-dash player) with well over 100 cassettes. For Xmas he asked for a USB turntable to digitize our record collection (somewhere around 12K) because he misses the crackling and the pops. Live at Leeds, BTW, much better on vinyl.
I used to keep my ticket stubs and still have a pretty big collection from the 80s and 90s back at my folks house, but after I started moving around a lot I stopped keeping them. Why I think someday when I have a kid he's gonna think its cool that his old man paid $10 to see Eve's Plum at the Wiltern I'll never know...

I've always been very good about saving my concert ticket stubs. I've probably only lost a handful of them over the last 30 years. I even managed to scan them all last year. I'll setup a webpage or something for them someday.
-
I totally save all my stubs too. I've even got a few of my favorite show stubs at work on one of my boards, for when I'm having a crappy day and I just want to think about something pleasant. The Sonic Youth in Rome one in particular perks me up.
