People are just gonna post pics of Ticketmaster Tickets just to piss you off. Instead I'll post this for you...

my PC almost crashed there

 

[wrafter]

Your ticket?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

'fraid not.
wish I had seen them but would need a time machine

yours is pretty sizeable. I used keep mine - in the days of pre-Ticketmaster, when you went to a shop to buy a ticket and they used be in different colours. Orange, red, yellow, blue, green, white, cream etc

I can't believe you went to see the frames so many times. Not just that, but that fuckin hansard twat aswell.

Seen them in Connollys of Leap a few years ago. Gig was seriously dragging due to yer man's habit of telling stories longer than the songs. Went for a men's break and turned to the fella next to me and said "christ, he'll be reading us his bank statements next" and yer man turned to me and almost sobbed "it's grand for you, i'm one of their roadies".

True story.

wish i still had this

I happen to like The Frames. What can I say? It's all personal taste, isn't it?

 

[THRILLHO]

Ever take count of how much money you've given U2 and cry?

I have a ticket somewhere at home for sonic youth with Nirvana supporting from 91 in cork. I didn't go myself mind, the brother went, but i can pretend..

Not so much U2, but I'd be frightened to go down through the tickets with a calculator and see what the final tally is. Very frightened.

as soon as anyone claims they were at that gig or the Top Hat one the following night, a load of people come out and accuse them of lying.

If everyone who claimed to attend the SY/N 91 gigs was a liar then NO ONE would have been there.

Which wasn't the case.

 

[RSJ]

Well, i wasn't there but i know the brother was because we have the ticket at home.

Tell you what though, we saw one of the tickets for that gig in the buy and sell about three years ago for 300 quid. Madness.

that's my point and I believe you.
It seems to be fashionable to shout 'liar' at anyone who claims to have been there.

Tickets for the Nirvana/Sebadoh/Raincoats gig of 8 April 1994 used sell for major money a while back. Maybe they still do. I brought mine back as soon as it was called off as I needed the money - was in college at the time. Did the same when they cancelled the McGonagles Dec 1991 gig. Didn't see the long-term investment opportunity potential.

Speaking of which, what's the most valuable music-related item, object, token or novelty you have in your possession?

I've got the first Radiohead CD single = "Drill". I see it selling for over US$500 on GEMM: http://www.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&disp_ad_format_mode=0&artist=RADIOHEAD&title=DRILL
