Edward Hopper, a native New Yorker, was an avid theater-goer. These are some ticket stubs he saved between 1925 and 1936, with the names of the plays written on the back: Hamlet with Gielgud, Strange Interlude, Green Pastures, The Doctor's Dilemma, and six others. And the priciest was for Gielgud—$3.30 to sit in the orchestra.

Those ticket stubs and more
As you may or may not know, one of the greatest pleasures in my life is to sort things into piles and create lists. Make of that what you will.

One of the things I really miss are ticket stubs. I like the convenience but hate the truly ephemeral nature of electronic tickets. While not every show I once saw had a proper ticket (most did), stubs were always good mementos. I can't remember the last time I had a paper stub to save.
This nostalgic thought brought to you because the husband and I watched the Wax Trax Records documentary last night, reminding me that I have visited a few legendary record stores in my time.
I literally stumbled into Wax Trax in 1985, when I made a brief stop in Chicago on my way to college in Massachusetts. I didn't know about them before I walked through their doors, and had no idea how much the bands the label produced/distributed would become part of my life. Serendipity, perhaps. I was and am still a packrat, so I apparently kept the Wax Trax store cards I picked up there, fixing them into one of my journals a few years later, with various other store cards and, yes, concert ticket stubs.
I also started to frame ticket stubs to concerts (here's an early 2000s set), but I stopped that after realizing that we'd need way more space than we had.

Movie ticket stubs in Japan used to go unreasonably hard. It’s dated 96’ which means whoever bought this saw it about a month after release.
