Collecting concert and show tickets

Tweet

Whenever I go to a concert, a Broadway show, or some other show, I always save my ticket. This way I keep track of what shows or concerts I've been to. And it's kind of like a keepsake as well. Yesterday I went to see David Cook (former American Idol winner) in concert. It was in a small venue in Brooklyn called Knitting Factory. I got to the venue and told the guy at the window that I want to pick up my ticket. He asked for my last name, but didn't give me my ticket. Instead, he checked my name off the list and then put a stamp on my wrist. I've been to concerts in small venues before, but they always had paper tickets. And they never had to stamp my arm... Even though it washes off without issues, I hate getting stamped. If there are now real tickets, I think they should do wrist bands instead, like they do if you opt to drink at the venue and are over 21. I was bummed that I don't have an actual ticket for the concert to add to all my other tickets as a keepsake. Maybe I will create a ticket myself... Of course, it won't look like a real ticket but it will at least be a reminder of where I went and who I went to see.
