The Value of Concert Ticket Collectibles
Concert ticket stubs are excellent collectible items. Items like show flyers, handbills, and movie posters, football programs and other rock memorabilia, especially are old concert tickets are colorful, fun and reminders of musical milestones in our culture. Some people like to paste them into scrapbooks as memory anchors of a favorite concert. Others throw concert tickets away as soon as the show is over. Of course both approaches help to establish the rarity of the concert ticket collectible and of course its price.
How is the concert ticket stub market? How much would you be willing to pay for a 20 year-old ticket stub from a concert by your favorite rock star? This of course is one of the key things that determines the price of those used concert tickets
Like all rare cultural artifacts, the popularity and scarcity of concert ticket stubs will impact the price. Who is the artiste? How often did they tour and how big were their audiences? Concert tickets for the ‘Hall of Famers’ such as The Beatles, The Mammas and Pappas, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, are highly prized. Concert tickets for the sound track of the baby boomer generation are rare treasures that can only gain in value with time.
All those baby boomers should be advising their concert ticket buying offspring to put the present day tickets in their own scrapbooks and memory boxes. For sure they will want to look back on and pay for Green Day or Shania Twain concert ticket stubs in 20 years time.
Of course the way the modern youngster acquires their concert tickets could not be more different from that of their parents. The Internet has revolutionized the concert ticket buying process as it has revolutionized so much else. No more sleeping bags and tents for overnight stays to be sure of first place in the queue at the box office. Live music fans these days have the whole world of concert tickets on offer at numerous online concert ticket sites.
In terms of concert ticket collectibles some key factors are. How old is the concert ticket? The earlier in the artist’s career the more desirable the ticket is. Everybody wants to be able to say they were there at the beginning.
What is the condition of the concert ticket? Is it faded to illegibility, stained or crumpled? Are the corners sharp or rounded? Does the back of the concert ticket have sticky residue from being pulled from a scrapbook? Has the ticket been written on? An autograph is good but a love note to your ex is not.
Sometimes the venue for the concert ticket can determine the price. Tickets from events at CBGBs, The Fillmore or The Whisky A Go Go can bring something extra to shows by the same artist in the same year at lesser locations or even larger arena type venues.
“Picture” concert tickets are better than pure texts. These are tickets that show a likeness of the artiste or the venue on the front of the ticket. These are more common in Europe but there is a famous one of Woodstock in 1969.
