I was looking through some boxes of stuff I've saved over the years and I came upon a bunch of ticket stubs from concerts I had attended years ago, when I was in my 20's and 30's.
Check out the prices! This was back when people bought music on physical media like vinyl LPs and the artists and record companies actually got a decent cut of money from the fans. The concert circuit was a way to get people to buy their music. Nowadays it seems to be reversed--music exists to get people to buy concert tickets.
I also had stubs for Styx (1978) Van Halen (1978) another Rod Stewart (1991) and Brooks and Dunn with Pam Tillis as opening act (1995.)
Anyway, have a look (click photo to enlarge). Also, please post photos or scans of your old concert tickets.
