possibly the most pointless thread ever invented, but do you keep all your gig tickets?

Do you keep the tickets of smaller bands - local ones, i mean - as well as huge bands, such as Radiohead, Colplay and U2, or just the big bands that you go and see?

I try to mainly because I get the tour posters and frame them along with the ticket.Some venues here don't give them back to you though which is kind of stupid

I've always kept my tix, but lately going to see small acts in clubs and buying tix at the door usually means no souvenir ticket.
But the smaller acts sell their cds at a merch table and so I can come home with a souvenir anyway.

I keep all my gig tickets. and at some of the smaller local shows, we get wrist bands instead of tickets, and i save those too.
i get all mad when certain tickets are only available thru this one company that doesnt have actual tickets, but will call wierdoness.

I put them on my cork board so it looks like I use it for something.

for at least 10 years i've kept every concert ticket, theater ticket, sporting event ticket, movie stub, museum ticket, writstband, everything. i write the names of everyone i went with on the back and keep them all in a box. i've got hundreds and hundreds by now. it doesn't take up much space at all. my collection still fits in a very small box that i keep tucked in a desk drawer. it's fun to go through the stubs every once in a while; helps me to remember pieces of my life.

I keep them all and get really wound up if they take them off you.
I went to a gig the other night and I had ticket number five but they took it off me Sad

I'm a geek

I actually do that as well,I actually go even further by keeping inane stuff which I won't mention haha


At the last Muse show I went to they had wristbands for people 18+ so you could buy alcohol if you wanted and the girl at the door with the wristbands busted my ass about showing her ID as she thought I wasn't old enough LOL then she was a royal pain in my ass until I showed her my drivers licence so I kinda mentioned that when I wrote on the wristband haha
