Disclaimer: These are examples, not a price list. The value of a ticket can vary dramatically based on the event, date, rarity, condition, whether it is a full ticket or stub, and other factors. Even tickets from ordinary games or concerts can sometimes be valuable because of something historic that happened that day. Send us photos of your collection and we'll research it for free.

What makes a concert stub valuable

Four things, roughly in order of how much they matter.

The artist

The Beatles, Elvis and the big rock acts of the sixties and seventies draw the most interest.

The show

A final tour, a famous live recording or an early club date is worth far more than an ordinary night.

The venue

The Fillmore, Winterland, the Cavern and other long-gone halls carry extra interest.

Full ticket or stub

An unused ticket is scarcer than a torn stub, sometimes by a wide margin.

Also happy to look at

Handbills, programs, concert t-shirts, festival tickets, backstage passes, club dates from before an act was famous, and ticket-shaped programs.

I went to all the concerts back in the 60s, 70s, 80s. I had a whole bunch of ticket stubs. And what do you do with them at some point? Well, there's... a guy named Dave, and he's a collector, and he bought my ticket stubs. And I am so happy. They went to somebody that actually appreciates ticket stubs from the old days, the good old days. So if you've got stubs laying around, get a hold of Dave. He's a good guy. Couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you, Dave.[Read more]"

"This was a great experience. The price was fair and Dave's communication was spot on. Never too much and never too little, and always prompt when responding.

If I decide to sell more ticket stubs, my first call would be to Dave. I would highly recommend Dave and his service."

"I wanted to let everyone know that Dave is an asset to his craft. He actually cares! I had a smooth, pleasant transaction with him. The communication was great, I sent pictures of my stubs, he liked what he saw and we made a deal. The funds, plus the shipping cost, were in my account so fast. All positive vibes and I would highly recommend him."

This is Chris. I'm a satisfied customer of Dave Buys Ticket Stubs. I've had two transactions with Dave now. I've been very impressed... by both his prompt returns and replies to my proposals and certainly the price he's given me for what I've given him. That includes a couple of batches of sports tickets, football, baseball and a few other things in there. Highly recommend him. Give him a shot at what you've got.[Read more]"

Concert questions I get asked

Is a stub for the support act worth less?

Sometimes, but not always. An opening act who later became famous can be worth more than the headliner that night.

What about tickets from a cancelled show?

Send them. Unused tickets for shows that never happened are among the scarcer things I buy.

I only have computer-printed stubs from the nineties.

They are worth less individually, but a large run is still worth sending as a lot, and some tours are collected on their own.

Send a few photos and I’ll come back with a number. No fees, no obligation.
