I do download, upload, etc. and use Apple wallet. But the fella I am with always has a printout, just in case. Doesn’t hurt.

I may need a tutorial from you.

I support your preference for the real, tangible ticket. 🎫 Carry on. 😊

Totally with you on printing out a boarding pass at the airport kiosks! I also have a shadowbox full of ticket stubs from various games, movies, plays, etc. that I’ve collected over the course of my life.

you need to adopt a teenager to keep around the house to manage these things. When she ages out, adopt a new one...at your age, you won't have to do it too many times...

I can always count on your wisdom and support

You are 2-for-2, Nancy.

Yo, that’s a nice souvenir from the past! An admission fee of $7.00 can’t even get one into a school play now! ha ha!

And did you note the fine print that says it was illegal to resell it for more than $2 over face value?

The Disabled Activist's avatar

Remarketing specialists seldom care about the resale cap.

I love having all my boarding passes from my travel adventures. Unfortunately, these days I often forget to print them out if I have them on my phone. How will I remember where I've been when I'm old and doddering? (a time which is not that far away....). I'm sure it will be able to be found on my phone somewhere....but where????? ( I even have most of my flight attendant trip routing printouts in a box somewhere from my very happy time at TWA)

Just anticipating the moment at your gate builds anxiety.

You'''re not alone. Maddening

My wife Susan, then 16, attended that Rolling Stones concert at MSG in November of '69. It was also featured in the classic Stones film, "Gimme Shelter." What a movie! The biggest lesson out of that Stones tour was not to ever let the Hells Angels serve as security again! And by the way, I still have my ticket for a Doors concert at Asbury Park's Convention Hall in late August of 1968. Ticket price for Standing Room (I eventually found a seat) ... $2.50.

I think you got your money's worth from the Doors, Jim. I would imagine you might have some Dodger ticket stubs floating around, too, no?

Jim Montemurro's avatar

My favorite Dodger ticket stub is from a game at Shea during "Fernandomania," Friday night May 8, 1981 when Fernando Valenzuela shut out the Mets 1-0. Such excitement at Shea! Many fans wearing sombreros! Gosh, it was so great! I had great seats near the Met dugout. It was a crazy day - I took my 'challenging' male students to Rahway State Prison for the "Scared Straight Program" (remember that?), then rushed to Queens for the game. Friday traffic didn't bother me in my younger years. What a day to remember.

What a great story, Jim. And what a day you had.
