A sad blog post: The coming extinction of concert tickets
Share
It's obvious, but still, Global News' Alan Cross manages to create one more drop of sadness with his nostalgic blog post about the extinction of paper-tickets: "Collecting concert ticket stubs will soon be extinct, much like the notion of B-sides, liner notes, and album artwork. Instead, our memories will be preserved as selfies taken at our seats or video recordings of the gig that we never watch. Yes, there are T-shirts, programs, and an endless supply of tchotchkes at the merch tables, but they all cost money. A ticket stub came with its own memories built into the cost".
