ARCHIVE / MEMORABILIA

Ticket & Admission Archive

A dedicated preservation view for ticket stubs, admission cards and other ticket-like ephemera. This page is intentionally conservative: a file is listed here because the current build identifies it as ticket/admission material, not because filename evidence proves an event.

Browse the wider event material: the Library selection currently presents 105 tickets, posters, flyers and gig adverts, with source PDF links and event cross-references where available. Open Tickets, Posters & Gig Adverts →

Currently identified ticket item

Lee Brilleaux Memorial — Canvey, 2012

Archive object:
lee-brilleaux-memorial-ticket-canvey-2012.jpg

Evidence state: preserved contributed object. The object is retained as supplied; the filename describes it as a memorial ticket and names Canvey/2012. Those labels are not treated here as independent proof of every printed detail.

Flickr ticket sources

XTC — Odeon Theatre, Chelmsford

Flickr photo by Maurice Hyde shows an XTC Odeon ticket. The owner describes it as 1980 and observes that the date appears to have been changed by hand to Saturday. The older Where & When index lists XTC in 1981; the discrepancy is preserved pending further evidence.

Preservation status

This contribution inventory currently contains one newly supplied memorial ticket object. It is separate from the selected historical source-library material linked above.
The wider source library contains ticket and event material under filenames that do not necessarily contain words such as “ticket”, “stub” or “admission”. The 100-item gallery is a selected view, not a claim that every image or PDF has been visually classified.
The source PDFs and retained source images remain available alongside the selected gallery images; the gallery captions identify their source where known.

Next ticket-recovery checks

Compare the current package against the oldest available website/source bundle before deleting historical ZIPs.
Search image collections for ticket-shaped or admission-card objects whose filenames are non-descriptive.
Where a ticket prints an artist, venue or date, link those visible details to the relevant event record without treating the object as proof of details it does not show.
Record provenance and scan/source filename for every newly recovered ticket.

Research boundary: this page is an archive inventory and provenance aid. It does not infer missing dates, venues or event histories from filenames, image appearance, or later recollection alone.
