The Beatles 1964 Concert Ticket Stub Carnegie Hall, NY, February 12

  
I dont do this to be a nice guy, I do it because it simplifies things for me and saves time. You already know how magical this night was in American Beatles history, so I wont waste your time repeating it here. This ticket was obtained from a first-generation Beatles fan who lived in New York as a teenager and attended the concert. Also included in this listing is a page from her 1964 Beatles scrapbook, containing the original, genuine New York Times review of the early show (this stubs show) which appeared in the following days newspaper.

It was attached to with two staples securing it at the bottom and small pieces of now-long-gone double-sided Scotch tape holding it at the top. My photos also show the program for this show, including Paul McCartney being called John McCartney; it is not included in this sale, nor is the poster I also show.

Just the ticket stub and scrapbook page are in this lot. The back of this ticket stub is quite interesting. And THEN, very faintly, in all capital letters, it also says, CARNEGIE HALL BOX OFFICE. Its in the same ink color as the date & time, and slanted at the same angle, over two lines (CARNEGIE HALL on top, BOX OFFICE second line). I want to be sure to point out that these latter four words are so faint that I didnt even notice them until I took my high-resolution photos for this listing, and blew them up on my computer screen.

So theyre not exactly a visual attraction of this ticket stub but they sure as Dickens add a wickedly cool stamp of authenticity to the whole thing. She obviously bought her pair of the tickets at the BO, the day they went on sale. All of the fun photos I show here were taken on this exact day, of course, and most of them probably at the early show (my stubs show), which the media covered heavily and rushed to get their reports in by deadline.

STARTING THIS LISTING AT A BUCK, no reserve, letting the marketplace (you) determine its value. I just prefer to let market forces push any item where it will, and not engage in wishful-thinking pricing. And yes, occasionally an item stiffs, too, and you (not me) get a bargain.

I DO NOT CLOSE AUCTIONS EARLY, so please dont ask. As for my credibility, I've had something on display in a music museum every single day since the fall of 1995, when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened in Cleveland with over 10 of my items on display, including three Beatles Liverpool concert posters.

Presently I have two Bob Dylan posters on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN. I have over 350 YouTube videos up where I discuss rare and collectible concert memorabilia.

You can find them either through my Web sites blog or my YouTube channel, both named PosterCentral. I also worked for CBS Records in the 1970s after being a small-town disc jockey for a few years. Thank you for stopping by, and please let me know if youre aware of any rare concert posters for sale from the late 1960s back to the 1920s.

I love to collect vintage concert posters and pay the very BEST prices in the hobby. Whether its Bob Dylan or the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead or Janis Joplin, the Stones or Zeppelin, 50s founding fathers like Buddy Holly, Fats Domino and Elvis, or old-timers like Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald, Im totally into it.

Likewise with the earliest & rarest psychedelic concert memorabilia from the Acid Tests, Tributes to Dr. Strange, Sparkle Plenty or Ming the Merciless, and Bill Grahams Mime Troupe benefits in late 65/early 66, rare stuff like that. I also love concert tickets and stubs from my favorite artists. Thanks and have a great day!
