Cool Vintage Concert Ticket Stubs

Here are some of one of my older brother's vintage ticket stubs of concerts he attended.



Van Halen was opening act to Black Sabbath. Price for the show $7.50!!!



The Who with drummmer Kenny Jones, Keith Moon's replacement after his death.



I tagged along on this one. Led Zeppelin was the second concert I experienced. It was one of the last ones before drummer John Bonham's death in 1980. It was a let down after a while because the instrumental solos ran about a half hour each and it got a little boring. This was a time in which concert goers were bring firecrackers to the concerts and it would upset the bands. I remember a Ted Nugent show in which a firecracker ended up on stage and he told his band mates to stop playing while he delivered a convincing tirade for people to stop tossing firecrackers. He indicated he would injure people in response to the next one.

I love the Sabbath/VH one.

I've only kept one ticket stub; Def Leppard, with Tesla opening, Hysteria tour. Not for the bands as much as it's the first concert my wife (who was my GF at the time) & I went to.

Snouter:

You've reminded me that I have quite a few ticket stubs that I need to digitize. Thanks...

Cool stubs, by the way. Those are classics...

Thanks e. I took pics of them with the camera but should have used the scanner.

Curt, I had had you in mind when I posted the Van Halen one.

Old time rock n' roll baby. I need to see a live band soon and may head to Long Island tonight like I did a few weeks ago.

There seems to be a small market for them. I see if my brother wants to post them on ebay and see what happens. He has a bunch on concert T-Shirts also.

I don't think I have any of my old/cool ones any more. It's kind of a shame. Of course, they're not as cool as the ones above.

The only relatively cool one I have, I found. I'd bought an old Replacements tape at a flea market thing. Opened it up, and inside it was a ticket from the very last Replacements tour. I keep it nice and protected now. I thought it was terribly cool.

There's my pointless contribution for this thread.

I've kept just about all of mine. I have about 30 or 40 dated all the way back to Iron Maiden-Frehely's Comet back in '87. Robert Plant, Rush, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, AC/DC, Judas Priest, etc etc etc. Not quite vintage, not yet, but getting there.

I do not care for Led Zeppelin much at all; but Robert Plant's solo stuff I find excellent. Especially Now & Zen & Manic Nirvana. Doug Boyle killed.
