How to Preserve and Display Your Ticket Stubs: A Collector’s Guide

Whether it’s a last-second walk-off or your first concert, a ticket stub can hold more emotion than any highlight reel. But if it’s crumpled in a drawer or fading in your wallet, it won’t last long.

Here’s how to preserve your ticket stubs and turn them into display-worthy keepsakes. 

📦 How to Store Ticket Stubs Safely

• Use acid-free sleeves or archival pages to avoid yellowing or cracking.

• Keep them in a binder, protective box, or dedicated collector case.

• Avoid direct sunlight and moisture — both will destroy value and legibility.

🖼️ Creative Ways to Display Ticket Stubs

• Shadow boxes with photos, programs, or wristbands

• Custom frames for milestone games or personal moments

• Stub collages for every stadium or season you’ve attended

• Or go digital-to-physical: recreate your mobile ticket as a commemorative stub with FanStubs

🔄 Can You Reprint Lost or Digital Tickets?

If your ticket was mobile-only, you can still recreate the memory:

• Services like FanStubs allow you to design custom ticket stubs using your game date, seat info, and even your own photos.

• These look great in displays and help bridge the gap left by digital ticketing.
