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 football stub valuable
Four things, roughly in order of how much they matter.
The game
Championship and playoff games, famous finishes and last games at old stadiums carry most of the value.
Condition
Collectors place an even greater emphasis on condition, particularly when it comes to historically significant games.
Full ticket or stub
A ticket never torn at the gate is scarcer than the stub half, sometimes by a wide margin.
Age
Pre-merger NFL and AFL stubs from before 1970 survive rarely. Even an ordinary game is worth photographing.
Also happy to look at
Season ticket books, press box and sideline passes, programs with the ticket still attached, AFL games, and college rivalries like Army Navy or the Iron Bowl.
If it got somebody through the gate on a Saturday or a Sunday, send the photo.

Football questions I get asked
Are college football stubs worth anything?
Yes, especially bowl games, rivalry games and anything from before 1970. College stubs are collected just as seriously as the pros.
I have a full season from the same seats. Should I split them up?
No. Keep them together. A complete run from one season is worth more as a set than the games would be one at a time.
How can I tell if my stub is a reprint?
Send the front and the back. Reprints usually have heavier paper, sharper printing and no wear on the edges. I will tell you honestly either way.
Ready to find out what yours are worth?
Send a few photos and I’ll come back with a number. No fees, no obligation.
