Just the Ticket: Ticket Stub Organizer

Just the Ticket was perfect for my needs! I've been going to music concerts and sporting events since the late 1970's and had my ticket stubs stuffed in bags, boxes, whatever. I really wasn't sure how to organize them. I bought 2 albums. 1 for music, 1 for sports. I ordered 2 refills as well, which I needed for my collection. The sleeves are large and hold my tickets perfectly. There is a section beside of each sleeve where you can write notes. I noted the opening musical acts, which are rarely printed on the ticket, and who went to the show with me. You could also put guitar picks in the sleeve as well. The pouch on the inside of the back cover is handy to store those odd items related to your collection. I like that I didn't have to glue or tape my ticket stubs. A note: I have a few autographed ticket stubs where the autograph is on the back of the ticket. You can easily pull out the paper divider from an individual sleeve so that you can see the front and back of a ticket.

Many people have their old concert or play tickets in a drawer or a shoebox. This is the perfect gift for them, it allows you to organize all those old tickets in one place where you can enjoy them. I'd recommend

Been collecting ticket stubs for a while now, and wanted to organize them. Considered a scrapbook, then stumbled on this product. It’s built like a mini school binder, with a book-like hardcover and cute design. The pages are made of crystal-clear plastic, and the note lines on the included papers are a nice touch. It fits Ticketmaster and AXS tickets well, though they can slightly overlap the note lines depending on their size. I’m also a huge fan of the product’s expandability, due to its binder-like nature. The pocket on the back cover is nice for other keepsakes, though I haven’t used it personally — instead opting to include guitar picks with their respective stubs. My only real concern with the product is that the pages can sag, again due to its binder-like nature.

If you're like me... you were debating between these two things. "Concert Ticket Album" (which I'll call "CTA") and "Just the Ticket" ticket organizer (which I'll call "JTT".) Both have great reviews on Amazon. But no reviews comparing them. So... I bought both so that I could report back to you, Gentle Reader. They both aim to accomplish the same thing, and are priced within a dollar of each other. However, there are some differences between the two. I'll lay out those differences here: Form factor: "Just the Ticket" has a thicker width on a bookshelf. Its form factor is a 1.75" binder with rings, whereas the Concert Ticket Album is a skinny bound book about 3/8ths of an inch thick. JTT is labeled on the spine, whereas CTA does not have enough room for words. Size of tickets it will take: JTT has pockets that are 7.5" x 4" and will take tickets up to that size, but a ticket that size would cover up the label portion where you can write notes. So the practical usable size is 5" x 4". CTA's pockets are 5x5" x 2.75"-- that is, more sized for "traditional" tickets like the kind that ticket outlets have sold for years. CTA does have two larger pockets inside the front and rear covers that will hold up to size 6.25" x 4.5"; and JTT has one rear pocket that is about 9" x 6". Quantity of tickets it will hold: Concert Ticket Album has 16 pages, with 3 tickets per side, plus two oversized. So that totals: 16 x 3 x 2 = 96 regular tickets plus two oversized tickets. Just the Ticket has 20 pages with 2 tickets per side, for a total of 80 tickets and no oversized tickets. However, its ring-binder form factor allows you to add additional (refill) pages, so you could have more than 80. JTT has one back accordion pocket that will hold things like playbills. How well it holds tickets: I haven't fully compared, but CTA has smaller pockets and thus tickets would be held snugly. JTT's larger pockets could lead to the tickets sliding around in the pockets a bit. Notes/descriptions: JTT has a place to write notes. CTA, simply, does not. Strength/flimsiness of pages: both have pages that are pretty flexible. When looking at your tickets, you'll need to turn pages carefully because there will be some flexing of the tickets in the pages. Archival quality: who knows. CTA has reviews saying that it did not prevent fading. It does not claim to have acid-free pages. JTT's documentation insert claims to have acid-free pages. Quality and overall "Niceness": CTA has kind of a cool cover, and when closed it is a pretty solid piece. It will definitely protect tickets better than any "old" system (i.e., shoeboxes). JTT's graphics are a little less "concert" looking-- they look like miscellaneous tickets-- and the binding and presentation is nice and doesn't feel cheap. But the pages are a bit flimsier than CTA's. When shut... CTA is really solid. (With the caveat of the pages possibly not being acid-free as described above). JTT seems solid in terms of binding, but the pages are flimsier so they slide around in the binder a bit. *******Note that there ARE reviews for JTT saying it fell apart pretty quickly. CTA is built in a way that it will not do so... it's one piece with bound pages. I'll update my reviews to address the quality as time goes by. CONCLUSION: When I got them, they seemed to be fairly even... kind of a wash. But after comparing them on individual attributes as described above, I'd give the edge to "Just the Ticket" given that the prices are within a dollar of each other. JTT wins out thanks to its expandability, acid-free pages, and a place to write notes. The only area CTA really has it beat is on bookshelf space... it's got a drastically slimmer profile. So if bookshelf space is a big concern for you... CTA is a fine choice. If it isn't, then go with JTT.

I picked this up for a Ghiblifest project to save the tickets after I've watched one of the movies. The dividers are reasonably sized for tickets and fit them well. The included slips give enough writing space to fill in some information if needed or if you want to add a small special memory from the event. The pockets are big enough to hold my first plane ticket though it takes up the space of the slip entirely.

I've kept concert tickets (and misc. ticket stubs) for at least a decade, maybe more, now. I've been going to concerts longer, but unfortunately it didn't occur to me to hold onto my ticket stubs until after 2000. Anyway, my method of storage has been less than desired: I have a glass jar (normally for drinking water) that I keep ALL of my ticket stubs in, in (semi) chronological order. We're talking Dinosaur Jr, Bob Dylan, Morrisey, MGMT, Paul McCartney, Dragon Force, All That Remains, System of a Down, I could go on). Since I've been storing it in an unconventional manner, *many* of these tickets have unforunately been exposed to air, thus have disintegrated a bit, or detoriated in quality. So, it occurred to me- there MUST be a way to store these stubs like you would photographs (remember those?), or cherished baseball cards. I sat on this idea for some time now, knowing full well I could just google it or (don't ya know it) look it up on Amazon. Instead, one day fairly recently, I posed my question on Facebook. Not only did I get a referral to this very product, but I had at least 2-3 friends who instantly 'commented' that they wished they had something like this as well, as they ALSO had a decades worth of concert stubs. I read all the reviews, to get a sense of what I was getting. The price was right, though I was put off by a number of reviews claiming that the binder comes 'unglued' from the cardboard cover. Taking a chance, I ordered it, with that in mind. The order came in today, and later that night, with nothing else to do, I went through all (40+? just a guess, I haven't counted them) tickets, and put them in chronological order. Some are faded, yes, but the organizer seems to discourage contact with air, so hopefully it will reduce that in the future. While going through all those tickets, I came across a few surprises, and they brought back pleasant memories (I took an iPhone photo of a Six Flags season pass from 2005, when I brought my youngest brother to on a regular basis- the last year of going to Six Flags, a nice memory). I sent him the photo, now I'm waiting for a response. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with the product. I have NOT used up all 80 slots/ticket stub holders YET, but it's good to know that you can always order more sheets, though how many the binder can hold, I"m not sure. However, there's always the possibility of ordering a second book, if needs be. I can say that the organizer/binder is somewhat flimsy, so the possibility of it becoming unglued *does* seem like a possibility, sa other reviewers have claimed. I hope it won't, but if it does, I'll be sure to post a follow up to this review. In general, I'm pretty happy with this product, and I'm sure that you will too!

I wish I’d have read the description better. My friend gets her tickets on line and they are larger when printed so they really don’t fit this. If you do things that require actual ticket stubs ok, say movies? But these are small pockets and will not fit most tickets anymore. Anyways, my bad. This was still a good looking album and will work great for someone who has smaller ticket stubs

I bought this for my husband. He has been to hundreds of shows - Grateful Dead, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, etc. This is back when tickets were fancy and you wanted to keep them. He absolutely loved putting it together. He would stop and share a story every so often when thinking back on the concert. He said this was one of my best gifts ever.

The book is so adorable. The plastic pockets insides are also of premium quality. Very thoughtfully done! Wish I knew about this sooner!

Da ich sehr viele Konzerte besuche, habe ich nach einer Idee gesucht, wie ich die Tickets als Erinnerung aufbewahren kann und sie gur erhalten bleiben. Tatsächlich dachte ich an eine Art Bilderalbum zur Aufbewahrung. Und tatsächlich - so etwas gibt es. Das Album ist genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Es gibt Folien darin, die jeweils 2 Tickets pro Seite fassen und perfekt darauf zugeschnitten sind. Zum Glück kann man die Folien nachkaufen, da das Album bei mir nach nicht ganz einem Jahr voll ist. Man kann es mit weiteren Folien erweitern und jederzeit die Erinnerungen anschauen. Tolles Produkt!

This is a great little book, the sections are perfect size for anything you want to keep as a memory such as cinema tickets, festival wristbands and tokens. I've added some thermal camera prints as these are only small. There is also space to write next to the sections.

Excellent product !!

Mi pareja y yo cada vez que vamos al cine, guardamos las entradas. Las tenía todas en un bote, pero decidí buscar algo más organizado y curioso. Y dí con este libro. Es justo lo que buscaba, como un álbum de fotos donde guardar las entradas (o lo que sea) y poder escribir alguna nota o algo. El libro es de buena calidad, tapa dura y resistente. Al final del libro trae como un bolsillito, para guardar papeles más grandes o similar. Si te quedas sin espacio puedes o comprar otro libro o un pack de recambios y así ampliar las hojas. ¿Recomiendo su compra? Si quieres guardar recuerdos de esta manera si, te lo recomiendo. ¿Volvería a comprarlo? Sin duda alguna. Un Saludo a Todos!!!
