I just took my kids to Inside Out 2 (great movie).
The options for buying movie tickets are either digital, and have a QR code on your phone.
Or buy them there, but they don't give you traditional tickets like when I was younger, with a perforation to rip, and a stub to give. It is a barely legible code that includes theater number and seat number, printed on receipt paper.
Anyone else miss real tickets?
(I know I could mock up tickets, but I actually like to include the real stuff in my albums.)

I love tickets and do miss when we don't get them. I was happy in Europe because most things still did give us a printed entry ticket.
I've been making my own. I have this ladybug perforator from Cutterbee/EK (anyone else?) that I've had for eons and use it on the edges.
There are some digital templates out there, and Canva has some free templates too. It's actually become a big business on Etsy to sell mock tickets for events.
I really want to see Inside Out 2 also! Glad you enjoyed it.

Not really. But I just take a screen shot if the ticket, crop it, resize it and print it on paper if I want to use it as an embellishment.

Only concert tickets. I do like that I can get a concert poster digitally that I can that resize/print. I realize I could do that to digital tickets, but I don't care for the look of them.

I do. I still include receipts and all sorts of things in my pages. I have airline tickets - the carbon copy we used to keep - in my honeymoon album from 1997. Everything is so faded, though.
I went to a ton of concerts in my youth and I tried to keep the ticket stubs but I didn't have a proper place to put memorabilia back then and most of them got lost - I'm so sad about it. I worked at a CD store and got to meet a lot of great musicians and sometimes hang out with them, and I don't even have photos except for a few. The tickets would have been good, at least, but I don't even have those. I know there are lots of bands/musicians that I saw that I don't even remember now.

I miss tickets! All from 80/90s still look good and have not faded. I have newer ones that were more like a grocery receipt that faded with time.

Yes, I always enjoys including actual memorabilia or ephemera from events to my pages.

Yes, even though I sometimes forget to use things I do miss getting physical things. I screenshot of lot of things (like our seat numbers from digital baseball tickets) but it's not the same.

I love the original style tickets and hate online qr code only ones - we have gone to a number of places where phone reception was terrible so the queues to get in were horrendous as people couldn’t load their tickets at the entry point. As a result, if we can, we always print out the qr code on paper and take a screen shot of it on our phones as well.

Yes! I always included tickets with my scrapbook pages. I keep my theater tickets with the playbills.

I know that the movie tickets I was scrapping 10 years ago probably weren't as cool as the older ones - I don't actually remember what an older version of tickets looked like - but the receipts on thermal paper are very uninspiring and the theater I go to often doesn't even hand them over.
I know most of these tickets won't last so I tend to take a photo of the ticket at the theater before the movie starts or hold it up to the movie poster or something like that.
I can live without having any kind of ticket. I often prefer to get an image of the poster or venue anyway. But I find it hard to throw away a ticket if I get one. I don't have any problem shredding printouts of QR codes though.

Yes! I prefer actual memorabilia to faux/purchased ephemera (that is inevitably too themed or the wrong shape/size/color/etc).

Yes, I miss actual tickets! I have a basket of tickets from everything we've gone to but the last last several years haven't got any because everything is through a digital app.
I was thrilled at the Zach Bryan concert I went to a few weeks ago when they handed out nice paper tickets as you entered as a momento.

I miss the actual memorabilia but I hate when they print it on the heat paper (or whatever it's called) that the ink disappears over time. But regular tickets? Yeah. I miss them!

I was going to say that no, I don't really miss "real" tickets. But then I remembered my joy at getting an old-fashioned card boarding pass when I flew interstate earlier this year! I was so happy to be able to scan it and add it to my (digital) layout!

I actually bought a ticket stub album 10 or 15 years ago when I was going to a lot of shows, mostly in smaller venues. I haven't added to it much lately, but I haven't been doing those sorts of things.
When my mom and I went to Italy, there was a fair amount of really ephemera, which I saved but ended up not using in the albums I made us.
The project I have vaguely planned in my head currently is a mini-album around a romantic weekend trip to CT. The highlight was a dinner train ride in an old-time Pullman car. They provided intentional paper ephemera/punched tickets, even though they were completely extraneous to the purchase and boarding process. I appreciated it.

I love paper ephemera. I'm always picking up maps, brochures, menus, stickers, postcards, etc. at every location when I travel. I use them sometimes on my pages- I need to use them more.
I miss paper tickets.

I definitely miss them. Whenever I get one, I save it. For movies, etc. I usually include them in my PL album. I usually go online and find a copy of the movie poster that I can print and slip into a pocket. I don't love the look of the digital tickets as much.
I really like the look of ephemera in an album, and even when I look for it, I sometimes have a hard time finding things I can slip in.
I have an album of a trip to Alaska from about a decade ago and I did a good job of saving all kinds of ephemera and it makes the album much more interesting.

YES!!! So much yes. The year after my oldest gradated high school the school switch to all digital ticketing. I really miss the paper tickets to football games, concerts and plays to tuck in with photos. My most heartbreaking was getting to see Garth Brooks in concert after an 18 year wait...my husband selected e-tickets. I was devastated. Pretty sure there were tears.

My husband hasn't gotten the memo that things have changed: He got my car inspected yesterday and saved the paper key tag from the shop so I could add it to PL  |

Have you noticed any products in the stores that go with the movie? I remember when my kids were younger, there was a cake mix that came with frosting to make "Shrek" cupcakes. We bought an Incredibles puzzle from Dollar Tree. I took photos of them and scrapped about seeing the movie too. Maybe something from a kids meal?

I find I have to be more creative about ephemera these days. I was thinking about that the other day when I came across an envelope of Minecraft tags I saved from some pajamas & t-shirts I bought my son one time. I used some of them with his Minecraft birthday party pictures, and the ones I found were the extras I had hung onto in case I ever needed them for anything else. At Christmas time my guys know to always save the paper sales slip and the ID tag for our Christmas tree. I don't use them every year, but sometimes. I kept my place card and scooped up some table confetti from a party I was at a few weeks back.  |

I started taking the pamphlets and magazines at welcome centers and have been able to cut them up and back it with white card stock.
Like, I recently went on a wine tour and was able to find the logo in an ad. It made a nice addition to my scrapbooking.

Ephemera is basically how I began scrapbooking before I laid eyes on the very first Creating Keepsakes or saw a scrapbook aisle in a store. I just used albums that allowed me to keep the ephemera from any even along with my photos. (in the beginning I even used, gasp!, those adhesive magnetic photo albums!) I used to go to the local office max/staples type place where they did printing and you could buy individual sheets of decorative paper meant to use in a printer. And that's when I started using sheet protectors and those papers as the base of my scrapbook "layouts". The entire reason I wanted to scrapbook as opposed to just putting photos into albums was so that I could add a bit of writing and my ephemera to the albums. So that's why ephemera is still important to me. It's the whole reason I ever wanted to scrapbook in the first place. |
