In a metal army surplus ammo box.   

be cool to laminate them into a picnic table.

I recently scanned mine, but I already had most of them in a scrap book format with some pics, so I just put those pages on the scanner.img138.jpg

Not a bad idea T !

I hang on to mine in case anybody gets mouthy and I have to assert my attendance dominance. 

i thought the same thing with beer labels....or lam them into a longboard...

I took snap shots of some of the ones from the 1980s in case they get damaged or ripped off.

How about a bigger box, Tim.

 

Envious, my stacks have gone the windward way.

>>>sell them on ebay. there are stupid people who love to waste money on tickets to shows that already happened.

I sold mine to a friend that sells stubs on Ebay. I got $250 for a couple hundred concert and sports stubs from 1979 to 2014, that I used towards a new Martin acoustic/electric. He sold about half of them on Ebay and already made his money back. He gets some big bucks (like $500 and up) for unused tickets for Zeppelin, Elvis and the Beatles.     

 

I did have a guy offer me $200 for a Tampa Florida 2 song before it started to rain Led Zepplin stub.

My youngest had to make a collage in like grade 2 or 3, so we whipped this together from old GD & related stubs and a couple of the old GD calendars. He got an A, and my wife and I got a few questions at parent-teacher night.

We also threw some others in a frame and it's also up in the basement. A buddy of mine has a bunch of his around the mirror behind his bar. A little painters tape to hold them in place, then he covered the whole mirror in some static clear window film from Home Depot that just static-sticks to the mirror.

wasn't Stubs Nicks college nickname?

These are the only ones I managed to save. Save your stubs kids because you won't remember

Nice.  Thats funny about Parent Teacher night Fretboard! and your friend has a good idea with mirror. Coffee table also a good one. im in same boat as Tim but i separated GD from the rest. I got about 250- 300 GD and JGB stubs. Don't know why I saved them but im glad i did.  I gave a young Dead freak that worked for me an unripped GD ticket (Albany without a net run) for his college graduation. He is way into the Grateful Dead but just barely missed seeing them. Don't think i could sell them.  The rest of my stubs I want to frame but i keep slacking cuz it would be a project and its kinda spendy. Better do something before they turn to dust! Im thinking it would be good to hang in the basement jam room.

I keep my GD tickets in a postcard type book. Fun to flip thru every couple years. 

All non-GD shows are wrapped in rubber bands. 

I still have my unused consolation glitter tickets from GDTS after Garcia died. I'd rather have the stubs.

Me too. I gave many away.

got into a couple of spectrum shows on recycled spinner tix

I got one of those fancy albums made for stubs. Kinda nice to have them in slots, all chronological for browsing.
Merged me & Jen's stub collections together. It's funny how many shows we both attended before we knew each other!

New Pictures 059 (600x450)_0.jpg   I got a bunch of em

i have about 200 selected shows i have saved Including shows i did not make it to..........EAT those $dollars ...oh well i have the Ticket.

I have a ton as well, for now, they're in a box.  Nice to take a trip down memory lane every so often. 

That a lot of tickets, Tim. Stacks actually.

Cam would like to hear more about one the "fancy albums made for tickets stubs". Sounds something we all can use here.

Out of 7 tickets El Nino posted the sections are made up on only 0123 weirdand wonderful oddities of numbers

I know Timmy has a lot of stubs. So many he can share them in a time of need.
