Collecting ticket stubs is a fun hobby that can be equally exciting and frustrating because tickets are one of the more rare items you can collect, whether they’re from sporting events, concerts, museum visits, political rallies and events, movies or other events that require tickets for admission.
While it might not seem that ticket stubs are rare, consider how many people can attend one event—a very limited number will have that specific ticket. Then think about how many of those might actually save the ticket, and how many of those will sell, trade or give away the ticket where a collector might be able to acquire it, and you can quickly see where it can be a frustrating hobby, depending on your favorite area.
But it can be an incredibly fun way to indulge yourself in your hobby surrounding a particular type of music, an individual singer or band, for instance, if you collect ticket stubs from specific concerts and appearances. You can collect sporting event ticket stubs from a particular team, a particular sport or even a specific stadium on certain dates, or any date.
Movie ticket stubs can be wonderful for movie buffs who want to collect tickets from movies featuring favorite actors or actresses, a certain genre of movies, or movies shown in a certain area. Some small theaters just have generic tickets like the type you might find at a carnival, or in the stationery part of your local store. But other theaters print full-color tickets featuring the name of the movie, the date, and even an image from the film, making them highly collectible.
People who collect ticket stubs have some of the most specialized collections in the world. Some seek out specific tickets like those to Elvis or Beatles concerts. Some people like stubs from bands that represent a certain era of music, like Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane tickets. Some people try to get ticket stubs from concerts of their favorite performers during a specific tour. They might try to collect a stub from each venue on Michael Jackson’s Thriller tour, for instance. Opera tickets, musicals, theater performance—these are all huge items for ticket stub collectors.
Sporting event ticket stubs are some of the most popular, thanks to the variety of shapes and colors, and levels of artistic detail found on some of the tickets. Some bear images of athletes, stadiums or logos, though plain tickets do still exist. Some stadiums even scan tickets and then return them intact.
These collectible ticket stubs will likely only rise in value now that most venues, sporting events as well as theaters and movie houses alike, allow customers to purchase tickets online and print them at home to be scanned at the event. The first step in collecting ticket stubs is naturally to decide what kind you want to collect. Online auctions like eBay are awesome places to find everything from ticket stubs from Babe Ruth games to that Grateful Dead concert you wanted to attend, but couldn’t.
