@Erik, Cheers for the heads up! @Darien, I just saw Sir David Attenborough speak tonight. Absolutely fantastic. That will be my first book mark. Can't wait to go out to other events to make more book marks!! 😜

Thanks for the compliment, Lisa! If you're like me, I'm sure you'll collect a few more tickets in no time.

Good idea, but WARNING: Do NOT use heat laminate for this project. Your ticket will turn all black.

Thanks, Isaac. Neil played several brand new songs, some from his latest album, and also a few old favorites. He's still got it. Have fun when you see him.

Good idea. I'm always interested in ways people store/display/repurpose those many used concert tickets. How was Neil?! Will be seeing him at OL and then back east later in November.

Great guide! These could also make for a great gift for someone who is a fan but might not have made it to the concert.

Clear packing tape works too if the ticket isn't too big... ;)
