I've been collecting the tickets of films I enjoyed for about 6 or 7 years, though I just keep them in a small metal container. I'm sure they'll degrade eventually, if some haven't already, but I guess I'll figure out how to preserve them once the container is full.

I used to when ticket stubs were actually a thing, but I haven't seen one in years. It's all digital now.

I do it too. Although I've kept them in a box, they have been scattered throughout. I love to look back on the memories and the different ticket prices, haha

I’ve only kept one set of tickets to “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.” It was for a first date with a girl that later became my wife. Used the tickets to make a scrapbook years later.

I guess, but then I'd have to actually deal with someone there, outside of the 2 seconds it takes the guy to scan my phone. The beauty of it all being on my phone is I don't have to deal with lines or kids with bad attitudes anymore. Atthe theater I go to I even order my concessions on my phone and just go to the counter to pick it up when it tells me they're ready.

The only stub I’ve held onto was for Parasite. I saw it on February 15, 2020.

It’s kind of become my pre-pandemic shutdown relic.

For years, I kept throwing my movie stubs in a dresser drawer and gave them no more thought. My mother in law gave me a box that hangs in the wall to keep concert ticket stubs in. Since all my concert stubs were already in an album, I started using it for movie tickets. As I went through that drawer, I had stubs dating back to 1997 when they released Star Wars.

I do, I probably have some going back 20 years. It sucks now with online ticketing they just give you a flimsy paper ticket instead of the stubs.

That’s exactly when I started collecting mine, and for a long time had every stub ever since. But since buying tickets online became the norm, especially when going with groups, it became less and less of a habit. I keep mine in a fishbowl on a shelf.

I used to keep opening night tickets and put them with the DVD/blueray when I bought the home release.

I do! I discovered that I've inadvertently kept all of my MCU tickets and now keep them in one box every time I get a new one.

I do. I keep them in baseball card sleeves in a binder, they go way back.

I don't know how much it's worth, but I still have my ticket stub from Showgirls. And I got in when I was 15.

I kept all of my Tom Petty concert stubs. Ten of them. My ex threw them away. For reasons.

I started trying to and then it fell flat, my wallet was my safe keeping place and then they were so chewed up and worn I said fuck it lol. Still have a semi decent comic book collection though

I do and have been meaning to start a scrap book for the past 20 years. It ain't ever going to happen.

I've still got my Avengers IW and Endgame IMAX tickets.

I wish I saved some of my old 90s noughties cinema stubs like The Matrix, Mission Impossible, Galaxy Quest.

My gf keeps the ones that we goto since we started dating, 3 years ago. But theres something about old school cinema stubs that makes it special.

I don't remember where I saw this, but I saw some home theater setup, and the dude made a little ticket stub box like you'd see at old-time theaters for outside his home theater, and kept all his used ticket stubs there. Partly collecting, partly decor.

I did this for years. Had them all under a glass cover on my dresser. Ultimately threw them out when I moved and I kinda miss em from time to time.

I do! I just have them on some cookie tins for now. Not sure what I'll do with them.

I think I've had mine for about 13 or 14 years now... the ink eventually fades off the ticket. Kind of sad

I did for a while (starting with Episode I in May 1999) and had a little scrapbook even, but stopped doing so around (checks pictures of ticket scrapbook) July 2004. Electronic ticketing kinda made it pointless after a point, though I’m sure I got and discarded other printed tickets after 2004.

I started doing this in the mid-90s as a kid. I might not have tickets from most of the movies over the past few years, but up until the late 2010s, I probably have every ticket stub.

I have movie ticket stubs dating back to the mid/late 90s. The only unfortunate ones are those that are just the receipt paper tickets, which only have a faint ink imprint remaining (if that).

But it is really fun to have. I keep them with my concert tickets.

I’ve been collecting ticket stubs for around 16 years now! Will continue to do it for as long as I can.

I used to do that when I was younger, I also wrote in the back who I went with.

I have damn near every movie and concert stub since Mortal Kombat in '95. Many have faded but the vast majority are still perfectly legible.

I still collect movie stubs, though 95% of the concerts I attend now use digital ticketing.
