Lorraine Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 i have most of my Rush stubs dating back to the 70's What did you pay for your very first Rush ticket and what year was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Getz Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I paid all of $8 in 1977, by comparison the big band that year was Fleetwood Mac,had to shell out $12 for them. Those were the days before ticket bastard! Went down to the box office and bought them in person :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I kept most of mine and sent scans of them to the Power Windows site. Neat little thing I noticed a couple of weeks ago, I was watching a bootleg video of the R40 show (Houston I think) and they had a clear shot of the opening film. Well around the part were a raccoon climbs up on Geddy's head, a ticket stub from the HYF tour floats by - yep it's an animated version of the scan I sent to PoW - awesome, I'm now a part of official Rush history :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Boston, Van Halen, Rush RTB and VT tours: http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/homersimpson239/Mobile%20Uploads/20150805_082610.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/homersimpson239/Mobile%20Uploads/20150805_082651.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/homersimpson239/Mobile%20Uploads/20150805_082751.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu304/homersimpson239/Mobile%20Uploads/20150805_082809.jpg Never thought to do that. That's cool. All of mine are in a box (some of the early ones I kept are full tickets from when you buy extra tickets for friends and they back out. That stopped after a few years.) Thinking about more though some tours would have more tickets than would fit in the case if I tried that. Don't really consider e-tickets to be tickets, but I have some of those too because I didn't originally buy them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of tickets that aren't those, but they are other bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) i have most of my Rush stubs dating back to the 70's What did you pay for your very first Rush ticket and what year was it? Crappy pic but I had it on my computer. Not sure of the date of the first one, but the price went up over 50% by 1979!!!http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/GRohn/RushTicket2_zps08c5e9af.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/GRohn/RushTicket1_zps69ac739c.jpg Edited August 13, 2015 by Syrinx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I do wish I still had my old concert tees, which included a Signals baseball sleeve tee. Someone else mentioned the Signals baseball shirt in another thread just yesterday. My brother got one from that tour, too. :DMy brother took mine too. It was a T that shrunk up to a little tiny shirt on first wash and dry. I was pretty bummed. :( My brother took it and cut the sleeves off and then it disappeared years ago. He replaced it with the 3/4 sleeve baseball T (with a Houston mark, iirc) but it never fit and I don't know what happened to that one either. My oldest shirt is RTB and it's pretty ... old. I've saved every concert ticket stub from every concert I've ever seen. I used the Rush collage ones in my signature during the R40 tour (thanks, treeduck :) :hi: ) Back to Cylons now, and balance is restored ... all of this has happened before ... http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y487/CygnusGal/tickets%20collage%20-%20smaller_zps3vflchfc.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Cool collections of ticket stubs, but the memories are what's important. Stubs and memorabilia is just 'stuff'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Cool collections of ticket stubs, but the memories are what's important. Stubs and memorabilia is just 'stuff'. Stuff that enhances memories of the experience. At least it does for me anyway. I think it's kind of cool to be able to relive those Rush moments.I embrace this obsession, but I do try and lay off the chocolate chip cookies whenever possible.
