(21,646 posts)now with tics on phones or printer tickets ? The stubs wouldn't represent all now just a certain era
I haven't had a real ticket in a long time
NIN & JMC just had a ticket line outside the venue yesterday for thier show in Oct here .
Yes like the old days... you had to go stand in line to get a ticket ...no online sales .
It's to avoid bot resellers who scoop up all the tickets quickly when the normal online sales hit
I have seen this happen so many times 60 sec sell outs . Pisses me off I know why
Many musicians are trying various alternatives
like the NIN sale. Some of these ways around resellers like this have worked
I've seen others a fail and resellers get all the tickets anyway ...
Even when you had to stand in line a long time ago you used to see people that were there for making money with resellers
but you were standing with them and you had a chance . Nowadays not so much and people with $$$ to buy resold are often sitting in the top seats
Just a side rant on concert tickets ....back to stub collections
Anyway I'm just like that - hey people are on me cuz I don't take enuf pics of my kids growing up either
I guess I'm not a saver or collector but I do enjoy other people's memorabilia. Thanks for the post a lot of good comments and memories of my own just reading them!
