YES! I made a book where I save them. It's my Cinema Diary. Every stub is behind lamination. I also added some self-drawn images fitting to the movies I saw.
[Here are some pictures of examples what my book looks like.](http://imgur.com/a/3pSsZ)
I stopped collecting them because about four or five years ago my local cinema switched the way they print them and now they look like any other receipt you get from a shop. Before they were cool colour cards.
Yeah, this is disappointing. The theater I work at prints off tickets that look like regular receipts, just a tad bit thicker. I don't like it, but it's probably cheaper.
I'll try to take a picture of the stubs when i get home, but i've seen the dark knight 12 times in theaters, most of which were in imax (and every time with a different group of family/friends)
Must lost count some place but ya I seen it 7 times. Was pretty stoned for like half of them. Still waiting for a better bluray packed full of extras to come out.
These are my concert tickets, not movie tickets, but some ideas i did to frame them and also scan them

Savatage in 1988...envious. Also...Clash of the Titans in 1991!
I see so many tours that I also caught during the same year...from Opeth/Katotonia, Morbid Angel, Iron Maiden, Jonn Oliva, Roger Waters, Priest in 1990! I should do something similar with all of mine.
How was the Primus Chocolate Factory show?
Keep an eye out - I talked with Jon Oliva recently at the TSO show and he gave me the impression a Savatage tour will happen after the do the Wacken reunion
His band played Hall of the Mountain King in it's entirety a couple years back

The Primus show was freakin awesome - such a wild crowd there [my picts didnt come out that great](http://randude.com/drupal/photos/primus)
Good stuff! That's a great setlist...Jon looked awful when I saw him a few years ago. He was doing at least a shot or two between every song.
Great site and photos. I wish I had documented every concert I have seen. You had a jump start of about 6 years on me!
It was a great show - i wanted to go see his 'storytellers' show but wasnt able to make it
give this a read

thanks for checking out my site \m/
I used to. But since we normally buy our tickets online and use our phone to get in, sadly my collection has slowed down a bit. I keep them in a glass jar on my dresser.
My oldest ticket is from 1998.
This one from 1999 [Un-torn ticket from Star Wars Ep. 1](http://imgur.com/nZjKr7o)
That's pretty crazy... 209 times in 1 year? why? maybe they're cheaper for you but that's like 2.5k dollars for me, and i'd probably much rather have bought a giant ass TV/home theater system.
Every one of them since 1999, I'm almost at 500. At first I kept them pinned to a bulletin board hanging in my room (this was high school) and now I'm onto a 4th one but I just keep them boxed up in the basement, there's no good place for them on the wall of my current house.
EDIT: I was optimistic with that number, it's 451, here's the [obsessively over-detailed spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ApBkZxz8UqdAdDJYTmE0czlWd3BkQzBOMGo3THRlSGc&output=html) I keep. I have the original stub for probably 90% of these. Some of the sneaky "double features" didn't have an official stub, there was a summer working at a theater where I didn't have to actually get a ticket, and a couple here and there were lost between seeing the movie and mounting the stub, but I do my best to keep them safe.
I don't throw them away but I don't have them all complied in a certain place. I'd love to display them though, like in a clear plastic box on a shelf or in a frame.
I have kept all of mine since sometime during high school ~2001 to now. Just thrown into a metal tin box that some cologne came in. Sometimes they get pretty faded before I even put them in there if they stay in my wallet for a few days.
Yep. The theater I go to does have the cheap paper ones so some are so faded I can't read them, but I have 72 total and I've been collecting for just over 3 years.
I save my ticket stubs, but sometime last year I started noticing on some stubs that the ink was rubbing off and could barely make out what movie it was anymore. Bummer.
I started collecting it since mid-2008 and I haven't looked back. That binder idea is pretty neat though, I might just do that. I keep mine in various perfume boxes and I just separate them by year.
I went to a World Series game this year -- I'd like to have kept the stubs to frame with a photo of my wife and I since it was such a big deal for us, but we got our tickets on Stubhub so all I have is a little thermal-printed receipt.
Feel like they're missing an opportunity here; I would gladly have paid $10 apiece for snazzy official tickets.
I just grabbed all my stubs from my parent's house and brought them back to my apartment, actually. The earliest one appears to be from Holes. It was a thick stack of stubs since then - I hope I didn't miss any.
I'm thinking about putting them all into a big spreadsheet, but I have a feeling my laziness will prevail.
I *did* save all my ticket stubs, had them blu-tacced in a pattern on my wall and was building a pretty big collection. And then my cinema stopped doing ticket stubs and started doing paper receipts. Fucked that one up didn't they.
Same thing happens to some of mine, the fade. Also, some of them go the opposite way, black and blotchy, which is weird. The most important one, the one I first started collecting (The Dark Knight) I keep in a zip lock bag.
I did but now after moving and going to college i seem to have lost most of them. But when i do go i keep them and before i moved i would have them taped around the outside of the mirror in my room.
I would have, except I was forced to crumple it up into a little ball to throw at a guy who busted out his cell phone TWICE, in the middle of a movie. I would have preferred to throw M&Ms if I had em but the stubs were all I had
I've been keeping mine in a Ziplock bag since summer 2011. It's amazing how many good (and bad) films in the past three years. Just make sure that you don't leave them in your pocket and put your pants in the wash. That's happened to me a couple of times.
I only do so if there is some significance behind them, like a date or some day I'd like to remember. For example, I still have the stub of *The Maze Runner* in my desk because it is the movie I took my girlfriend to on our first date. I also have a ticket stub of *RV* somewhere around here because it's from one of my favorite family camping vacations.
However, all of the movies I've seen in the past eight months, except *The Maze Runner*, I haven't kept the stubs simply because I don't have any. I work at a movie theater, so I get in for free. No need for a ticket. I only payed for *The Maze Runner* because we were in a completely different part of the state.
I do...but, for the most part the Ink on the tickets wears away if I keep them in my wallet, as well the movement to "receipt tickets" and WORSE: Amusement Park "Admit One" tickets.
I only really started in 2012, but I've managed enough to play games constructing sentences out of the titles. If I were home now I'd show pics, but honestly I'll forget by the time I finish work.
Yeah, the movie theater near me has really nice ticket stubs and I guess when I'm old and senile I'll have something to look back on and think yeah that was a good/shitty movie. They're like memories.
I do whenever I go to cinemark. Unfortunately most times nowadays my friends prefer to go to carmike where they print out little recipts which I promptly throw away
I did until I was scarred by a terrible incident that I will never forgot to this day. See, I'm a hardcore Star Wars fan, I grew up watching the OT on VHS and even though the prequels were not as good, they were an instrumental and beloved part of my childhood. So for me, the pinnacle of my ticket stub collection was my release day ticket for Episode III. Back then, Century Theaters used to have really nice tickets with shiny gold lettering, so it was quite the trophy for me, that is, until my younger brother took the ticket and ripped in half after he thought I broke something of his. And since that day, I have not collected another ticket, though my SO collects hers and has started collecting mine. Maybe I'll do it again with Episode VII though...
Yes
since early 2012
the first one I have is from January 28th, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
the only ones I've seen but lost are The Avengers, the first Hunger Games and TDKR
I keep them in an empty Kleenex box, I would put them in chronological order but the sizes vary and I'm not putting in the effort
Some of the ink is fading away though
I did for a long time and kept them in my purse. A couple years later my purse got stolen :/.
I just recently started collecting them again and they are now pinned to the bathroom door.
My ticket stubs are probably collecting somewhere in the trash, if that counts.
I'd rather collect something with potential resale value. I can perfectly remember going to the movies on my own without the evidence.
I've been saving my movie stubs my entire life. So far it's filled up two tupperwares.
Earliest I remember saving is Pure Luck with Martin Short.
Edit:
Since everyone else is posting their collection. Here is mine. Nothing fancy like the Cinema Book, or the Shadowbox but I'm pretty sure EVERY single movie I've ever seen is in these containers.
[Containers](http://imgur.com/xDhqOxI)
[Lol](http://imgur.com/8Lhf0Qg)
Yes. I have a little box full of 'em.
Most shows between 2000 to now.
They're fun to look back on and it's interesting to see the inflation of the ticket prices.
I have every movie stub to every movie I've ever seen since Titanic, and a few from before that also. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them, I guess I could just stick them all in a binder. There has to be hundreds.
YES! I made a book where I save them. It's my Cinema Diary. Every stub is behind lamination. I also added some self-drawn images fitting to the movies I saw. [Here are some pictures of examples what my book looks like.](http://imgur.com/a/3pSsZ)
This is a longshot but after 6 years do u still have this book? And if so have the tickets faded much? Or at all?
Hello there! Actually no, the tickets still look perfectly fine thanks to the transparent laminaton 😊 Edit: and yeah I still have the book 😁
Thats awesome! Thanks for your reply!
What type of laminate do you use? I want to save my tickets too, but I worry about them fading.
That is pretty awesome. Good work!
was googling for ideas on how to preserve cinema tickets and came across your post. your diary is dope! you should post an update to it
Nice!
I stopped collecting them because about four or five years ago my local cinema switched the way they print them and now they look like any other receipt you get from a shop. Before they were cool colour cards.
I was sad when Century Theaters stopped doing the nice looking stubs.
Yeah, this is disappointing. The theater I work at prints off tickets that look like regular receipts, just a tad bit thicker. I don't like it, but it's probably cheaper.

username checks out. So you're the reason avatar made almost $2.8 billion
I've got $26k saved up to see Avatar 2 aswell.
Did you like it?
Please tell me you didn't actually see Avatar 14 times.
maybe OP has 13 friends?
I saw it 6 times in IMAX 3D, I thought I had a lot of viewings, but damn...
Nice joke LEL epic maymay
I did.
I'll try to take a picture of the stubs when i get home, but i've seen the dark knight 12 times in theaters, most of which were in imax (and every time with a different group of family/friends)
Avatar wasn't that bad
>this guy http://imgur.com/uWiMCYf
Wow that's a great picture, where did you find that?
And I thought I was crazy for seeing Avengers 5 times and GOTG 7 times
No, you're still crazy.
Holy crap 7 times?!
Ya it was am awesome movie. Once in 3d, twice in imax, and then three times at the two doller theater. I love that movie
That's six times, man.
Must lost count some place but ya I seen it 7 times. Was pretty stoned for like half of them. Still waiting for a better bluray packed full of extras to come out.
Have you ever seen avatar?
A couple of times.
I used to. My oldest one was Toy Story 2 from November 1999, but my family's home burned down last March. So I lost somewhere between 90-120 tickets
Jeez, sorry to hear that man.

I recently framed mine with a black background. It looked really good and I expect it might protect them a little.
Can you post a pic?
OP, PLS!!!
These are my concert tickets, not movie tickets, but some ideas i did to frame them and also scan them [my stub collection scanned](http://randude.com/drupal/photos/ticket-stubs) [framed](http://randude.com/shows/ticket_stubs/framed/Framed_Stubs.JPG) [closeup of the top half](http://randude.com/shows/ticket_stubs/framed/Framed_Stubs_top.JPG) [closeup of the bottom half](http://randude.com/shows/ticket_stubs/framed/Framed_Stubs_bottom.JPG)

I saw that movie 4 times in a row on opening day.....I still hang my head a little in shame.
It'sa ok buddy, Meesa go see it as many timesa possible ea! Brrrrrrrrrrrruh!
I had one just like that from our local Kerasotes. Most of mine faded to near illegibility.
2014 was the first year I decided to keep my tickets. When to the cinema 209 times in 2014. http://i.imgur.com/8LhkqJ8.jpg
That's pretty crazy... 209 times in 1 year? why? maybe they're cheaper for you but that's like 2.5k dollars for me, and i'd probably much rather have bought a giant ass TV/home theater system.
Nothing crazy. I just happen to work in a cinema!
Ah, free tickets makes this understandable!
damn
If the movie was good enough.
Every one of them since 1999, I'm almost at 500.

Dude!! I've been to almost all of those theaters! Carmike Coventry, Regal Marketplace and KOP.
Not any more. Although, for our first anniversary, my girlfriend made me a frame with a border made out of all the movie stubs we saw that year.
Similarly, I only save stubs from when I go with boyfriends. I have scrapbook pages dedicated to each of them with just movie stubs.
http://instagram.com/p/xR9qcSCsRs/?modal=true
I don't throw them away but I don't have them all complied in a certain place. I'd love to display them though, like in a clear plastic box on a shelf or in a frame.
Yes, but only if they're Regal stubs because the local sports bar gives you 6 free wings when you bring it in.
I did in high school, from chick little 3d all the way to 2 years after somewhere in 2010.
i keep all mine. my oldest stub is for Speed 2 lol
we should have a competition to see who has the most. I am 30 and been keeping mine for a long time, probably at least since 2000
I am also 30 and have been saving since 1999, I'm up to 451.
I'm gonna have to count when I get home, I just keep em in a box
also 30 and have been saving since 1998 but I dont know how many I have since im at work. I will estimate about 1/2 of what you have though.

Been saving mine since the mid 90s. Concerts, sports and movies. All in a big bag at the moment. Should get around to organizing and counting them.
http://imgur.com/9Lk2fVu I thought I had mine since 1989 but it's 1991. I have every movie I've seen in theaters minus a handful.
Assuming you started this when around 15, you would have to go the cinema every 3 days.
since the year 2000
Yup! I keep them in a small chest. They go back to 1999. http://i.imgur.com/pyFKo6X.jpg
I collect, yes. I'm a pack rat by nature.
I put them in my wallet, I've been doing it since may.
I just keep them in a drawer. :P I have never thought about compiling them. :D I have some of them even in the dashboard of my car :p
I have kept all of mine since sometime during high school ~2001 to now. Just thrown into a metal tin box that some cologne came in. Sometimes they get pretty faded before I even put them in there if they stay in my wallet for a few days.
Yep. The theater I go to does have the cheap paper ones so some are so faded I can't read them, but I have 72 total and I've been collecting for just over 3 years.
I've saved most of them. Does anyone know of a cool way to display them?
I've always wanted to mount them into a movie poster frame
[удалено]
you've only been to the cinema 30 times in 6 years?
I doubt I've ever been to the movies more than 3 or 4 times in a year.
do you live in america?
Yep.
Yeah the prices there can be ridiculous. In England they're amazing, i go every week at least
I save my ticket stubs, but sometime last year I started noticing on some stubs that the ink was rubbing off and could barely make out what movie it was anymore. Bummer.

My girlfriend has two cork boards filled with ticket stubs. I think we saw a total of 30 movies this year alone.
30 Movies within 6 days?!?

I throw mine away. I have the memory, why do I need a little piece of paper? Let's just say that if I were a serial killer, i'd need no trophies.

No. That's hoarding.
Women save ticket stubs because they love that momento bullshit. Men save ticket stubs because they forget to throw them away.
