this is what I do.  I just keep every single ticket of every single concert/comedy show/special movie/theatre performance I have ever gone to, starting with my very first two concerts when I was a wee lad, which were utwo zoo tv rfk, and pink Floyd division bell rfk.  I keep them in fully overstuffed envelopes marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 7, 8 . . . yeah I think I am on eight now.  and I go through them and read them and have nice memories from them.  that, is all.

heh, that's pretty similar to concert going historical data.

i'm assuming there will be some stiff competition from the forum in this months 9:30 Instasnaperest contest

. this months selfie contest is

"Spring Cleaning Ticket Stub Selfies"

Sumbit photos of you posing with your prized ticket stub collection.

use the hashtag #930instasnap on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram

i think Bombay might have a lock on this one ;)

Well…My stubs are all in albums and I'm not about to remove them all to take a picture.  They all have been scanned though.  Maybe I could make a digital pile of them somehow.

I got one poster sized frame full of stubs from between 96-00..

i stopped keeping them long ago..

to be honest a lot of the time now i don't even get stubs… i get printout tickets or occasionally am on the guest list

or i buy at the door to save on charges and they don't give me a ticket stub!
