Brits miss physical concert tickets to collect and keep
Physical tickets that were either picked up at the venue's box office or sent out by post could be arranged in frames or memory books. Now it appears music lovers wish they would make a comeback just like so many of the 90s and noughties bands are. But could physical tickets ever return in what now is a tech-based world? Apps instantly allow gig-goers to scan tickets at the venue door, so there's no rummaging through bags for paper tickets or a last-minute dash back home to pick them up. In a nostalgic post on Facebook group British Memes – more than 40,000 people were keen to show their love for having a ticket you could hold in your hand. The post read: 'Bring back physical tickets!!!' While underneath over 800 people shared their memories alongside 6,000 shares of the post itself. 'They were the best concert souvenir,' one person commented. 'Still got all mine in a box somewhere, I always choose physical tickets when possible as I view tickets as collectable memorabilia,' another said. One person added: 'I remember having to order them and the tickets would come in the mail – I miss those days.' Recommended reading: And one user added: 'Omg I forgot these were a thing for a second. I actually saved some from my old dates with my husband now.' Others were also quick to share how they don't let a tech-focused ticketing system stop them from still collecting tickets. One user said: 'I'm over here printing out my order confirmation for my memory box.' While others pointed out that templates can be bought off sites such as eBay and Esty to design your own tickets and in some cases, venues do still offer physical tickets by request or by paying for postage.
