Default Favorite ticket in your collection?

For those of you that keep or collect ticket stubs from events you atrended, what is your favorite ticket?

I was fortunate enough to attend the 2013 Presidential Inauguration while in Washington, D.C. for an internship semester in college. It was free to attend and you could just show up on the National Mall but the sections close to the US Capitol were ticketed. Earlier this yar, I bought one of the tickets and am thinking about getting other memorabilia from that inauguration and framing everything.

I have many concert ticket stubs from the seventies but didn't preserve them as I should have.
Most went through the night in my pocket and and were pretty wrinkled and ragged. I just threw in a cigar box at the end of the night. Most are now faded and illegible.
Some of the most notable were Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CSNY.
I also went to Super Bowl XXX in 96. I preserved that ticket stub and it's in gem mint condition.

the only ticket I intentionally kept was the inaugural season at Jacob's Field for the Indians in 94? only because a gate giveaway was a display holder for it haha.

I have my ticket stub from Old Yankee Stadium in 2008 when Derek Jeter broke Lou Gehrig's record for most hits at that stadium.

Always hold onto my concert ones, my favorites:

The Replacements' last concert at the old St. Paul Saints stadium before they tore it down (2013 or 14, can't remember off hand)

1st Tom Petty concert with Pearl Jam opening (2006)

And Bob Dylan in Sioux Falls with Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) opening. Best Dylan concert I've ever been to (2013 I believe)

Probably the 2 1998 world series tickets that me and my wife won from a radio station contest that Danny Bonaduce was the dj for. My wife was more thrilled getting to meet him than winning the tickets. what was even better is they came with 2 plastic press pass tickets holders so they are in great shape.

Here is my Super Bowl ticket along with my seat cushion. The concert tickets are in a box somewhere in storage.

1993 Afc Championship game
2016 OU vs UH
2014 Cowboys vs Texans

If you're a trance fan (which I am), have an Armin Van Buuren autographed ticket stub which I got after his set. Pretty dope.

Also, multiple autographed ticket stubs from Built To spill

Definitely these. I've been trying to think of a good display for these along with the DS/CS stubs. Luckily I was able to print copies of the tickets and didn't have to separate them to go to the games so they're in perfect shape.

I didn't go but a member on here sold me a ticket stub from game 7 of the 1960 Pirates World Series. Still the only World Series ever to end in a Game 7 walk off homerun. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. The member found it in a book while out thrift shopping and sold it to me for a good price.

I also have a Game 7 Cubs World Series ticket from last year. Once again didn't go, but had to pick one up. Bought it raw and got it graded and it came back a PSA 9. Pretty pumped about that.

I think I only have 6 tickets in my collection, aside of my tickets from other ball parks I have visited (which are basically print outs).

First Royals Game Attended in 2009 (Greinke pitched and was 100 degrees)
Wild Card Game 2014 (Epic Comeback. Best game I have ever attended)
ALDS Game 3 2014 (Swept the Angels)
World Series Game 6 2014 (Yordano Ventura pitched that game)
Wichita Wingnuts signed ticket stub

Non Sports
Martina McBride (sent the ticket to her and she signed it)

too bad physical tickets are becoming a thing of the past to collect, they are almost obsolete.

It's not an event I went to, which will become obvious. But during a remodel of my dad's house we found 2 tickets to the Willimantic Open air carnival in 1914 that I have put into card sleeves and kept. One is in great condition, the other not so much.

They are pictured below.

Mine would have to be my two stubs from the 2010 Olympics Gold Medal Hockey Game that I was lucky enough to attend.
