Those tickets are cool! I have a bunch, too. Sold a Led Zeppelin ticket through PWCC, and got over $100 for it.

Downtown1974

Oh man, that Pink Floyd ticket is off the charts! Love it!!!

tennesseebanker

Thanks Guys, I hope to get a few more soon including a Hendrix. Those Fillmore tickets are like miniature works of art in my opinion.
And If ya have a few to show, let's see them.

I LOVE that Creedence ticket.

zep33

Those are awesome!!

Now you are naming groups I actually saw 30 years ago Zep. I used to love Iron Maiden, saw them on the Piece of Mind tour.

tennesseebanker

Here's a little info on your Zeppelin ticket you may or may not have known..............

The first time Led Zeppelin played San Francisco, they opened for Country Joe & the Fish; just three months later, they headlined four nights at Fillmore West and Winterland. BG170 was unlike any other Led Zeppelin poster or, in fact, any other poster in the BG series. Artist Randy Tuten had tired of seeing blimps in every Led Zeppelin advertisement, so he came up with the green avocado. Tuten liked it so much he "... wanted to do one a month that way- a series of crazy fruit posters."

One of mine is from the Piece Of Mind Tour

I have 40 years worth of stubs from every event I ever went to. I will post a pic of the stack later.

zep33

Here's a few of them:



Backstage pass:







The Born Again(Ian Gillan) tour



My first metal show:



Backstage pass for the Scorpions - sold my tickets cause I didn't need them Love At First Sting tour:









and a few more recent ones:




Other than the Scorpions(had backstage pass) and Judas Priest (bribed my way in), I have every ticket stub to every sporting, concert or other event I've ever been to

tennesseebanker

Awesome stuff Zep, I wish I had the stubs from all the concerts I went to. The concert shirts would be cool too.

tennesseebanker

I have heard PSA will not encapsulate Ticketmaster tickets ? Is this considered a ticket master type ticket, I wondering if they would consider slabbing these as a lot of 80's concerts were like this

tennesseebanker

When I do decide to send in the tickets do you think I should go with grades or just authentic ? Generally I feel the tickets are in good condition and may garner at least NM-7 grades.
Could some of you eagle eye's out there help me out and give me an opinion of what you think the tickets would grade ? Thanks !

slantycouch

Love those vintage tickets, from the 60's especially. I've looked through the ones on Wolfgang's Vault many times but have never pulled the trigger on any. May have to!

bunt

My actually favorite is the little guy at the very bottom left - no name on the ticket:Van Halen 1978 Celebrity Theater Phoenix - the month the first album came out

ga5150

You've got some awesome tickets in those pics. Your Celebrity Theatre stub caught my eye so I thought I'd post a few pics as well. I collect Van Halen memorabilia and have done so since the 7th grade (1982). I have a book of over 500 tickets from Van Halen. I put them in 6 pocket pages and keep them in order by date. I also have separate books for David Lee Roth solo years, as well as Sammy Hagar pre/post Van Halen.

If anyone has any VH stubs they'd like to sell or trade then please let me know. As you can see, my username reflects my VH interest, but a lot of people don't get it.

Thanks for sharing your pics!!

That is an immaculate VH collection

ClockworkAngel

How much for the Rush?

Bigjohn69

Rock and roll, oh yea,,

zep33

ahhh Zeppelin 77 sweet!!

Is that Ozzy ticket with Randy Rhoads?

tennesseebanker

Wow ! I didn't know there were so many ticket collectors here. We may have to start our own forum.

Stone193

This one had the URL rather than scan - was hoping for some graphics.

ZZ Top is a favorite of mine. My son works for USAA in San Antonio and they played at the company Christmas party at the Alamodome.

tennesseebanker

I hadn't even noticed that Mike, thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it in the Original Post.

The Fillmore ticks are incredible Barry.

Super graphics for a ticket.

I know you've seen the posters from those events.

If I were a collector? The Fillmore posters would high on my wantlist!

tennesseebanker

The posters usually go for some big dough. And I don't know if the wife would let me put it on the wall or not. I had a replica Grateful Dead poster in my room when I was a teenager(The Skeleton with the Roses in it's hair) I'm sure most people are familiar with it, I think I saw an original one @Wolfgang's Vault for over $50,000.

Is that Ozzy ticket with Randy Rhoads? >>



Most definitely - Rhoads early Ozzy tour - A friend of mine got his friggin little video recorder in there and recorded a bunch of stuff from the front - No sound though so for weeks we then synched up recordings to the video to 'somewhat' make a real recording Ha ! It was a very cool concert.

The Zep was unbelievable - I was very young - 12 but in to them already 0 No opening band and Zep showed up 90 minutes late - The things I remember the most are Kashmir lights going to the music, Plant getting mad at the spinning light in front of him and him kicking it - and Page losing his foot pedals in the fog machine smoke and crawling on the ground to find them - friggin classic stuff

zep33

still got the video?

Think I have a bootleg audio of that show

bunt

Zep - negative on still having the video - long long we'll say 'snort friend' if I may say that here (oh come on it's been 20 years) BUT if you are actually talking about the Phoenix show then - I do have some up front pictures I took - Used to wear 2 inch heel steel toe boots to the shows those days and 'ensure' I got up front - Would glaldy send you copies of the good shots - The friggin security back then was somehwat weak - snuck 35mm camera parts- stshed like under my 'honies' , in the boots - etc If you were at that show -actually in Phoenix - I promise these pics are from that show PM an address or email and I'll send them over -

ga5150

Hey Bunt,

Do you have any photos, audio, or video from the Phoenix Van Halen shows? Especially the Roth era ones? I have 09/28/81 on audio, and some of the Hagar era shows, but the early Roth years are tough finds.

What an odd lineup. I can't imagine ZZ Top fans being too enthusiastic about T. Rex.

They've had some funny ones over the years. Rush was once the opening act for Blondie and got booed off stage not surprisingly....also Kool and the Gang opening for Van Halen

zep33

Rodney, I have several Roth era video boots and a ton of audio boots - or are you specifically just looking for Phoenix?
