Do you keep your theatre tickets?

Same. The benefit of being a couple that watch most things together is that there is usually two tickets, one to go in the scrapbook and one to go in the programme that we always buy. I hate print at home tickets with a passion! 

I really wish I had but I ended up collecting programmes and didn't think about tickets. Seems to late to start now.

Always keep all my theatre tickets, I've definitely got around 13 years worth! I keep them now, especially as you can claim half the ticket price back on your tax return as a self-employed actor as it's "work related"!

I've probably got around 10 years or so worth of programmes, but I've stopped buying them due to price and return visits to shows I already have them for! But I will buy for special theatre occasions I want to remember; Angels In America & Cursed Child coming up, for instance.

Just had to move to a new flat which meant emptying ‘programme drawer’ - years of tickets, programmes and wristbands from shows, concerts and Q&As that I’ve loved attending. Started out as a ‘memory box’ but now I think I need to start filing more efficiently everything that I’ve acquired.

What is your advice on how to begin to set up a filing system for all of these mementos I’ve collected? So many memories over the last few years. Perhaps a ringbiding folder with plastic wallets that are labelled and dated? Obviously would prefer to avoid damaging the items with sellotape/glue etc. I would feel very irresponsible not to start archiving my theatregoing. Appreciate all tips you might have!

I’ve got tickets for all the shows I’ve attended since 2015 except the first two. One was a birthday present and my friend didn’t want me to know how much she’d paid for it, so kept hold of the ticket herself and the other was a print at home rubbish thing.
All mine are stored in photo pockets in ring binders. Ive tried to keep them in chronological order but because of the difference in ticket/photo pocket sizes that hasn’t quite happened. All tickets like ATG are in chronological order in one folder, then all the slightly larger tickets like RUT are in another folder.
As for leaflets I’ve got the ones that are signed in photo pockets in another ring binder, those that aren’t signed are just chucked in a box on my bookcase, with all my programmes lined up on the bookcase.

I've never consciously kept tickets - I have a few old ones shoved in programmes, and occassionaly find one in a book. Then for ages I deliberately didn't keep them, because I kept the programmes. But the friend I go to the theatre with now is a ticket keeper, and it has made me actually keep them. She makes scrapbooks and things, but I just shove mine inside the programme and shove that in my theatre box, if I remember. Sometimes I think I've thrown them away though, it's not a terribly deliberate process.

I must sort out my current theatre box, I noticed last weekend that it's really full. I have an 'old' theatre box with everything I saw from the 80s and 90s up to maybe early 2000s. Then I stopped going for a bit and the stuff from the last 7 years or so is in another box. I bought several large storage boxes a couple of years ago, and they're all full of STUFF.
