PETITION STATEMENT

 

We, the undersigned music fans, collectors, and concertgoers, call upon concert promoters, venues, artists, and ticketing companies to bring back the option of paper concert tickets for live events.

 

For generations, paper tickets were more than just admission to a show; they were keepsakes that captured unforgettable memories. Fans saved them in scrapbooks, framed them alongside photos, and passed them down as pieces of music history.

 

Today, most concerts rely exclusively on digital tickets, while digital ticketing offers convenience, it has eliminated a cherished tradition that millions of fans valued.  A screenshot on a phone simply cannot replace the emotional connection and lasting memories represented by a physical ticket stub.

 

Digital tickets cause a backlog at the entrance when someone is having a hard time pulling it up on their phone. Not to mention the mass chaos if the internet were to ever crash right before admittances to a show.

 

We are not asking for the elimination of digital tickets.  We are asking for a choice.

 

WE REQUEST:

·         The option to purchase commemorative paper tickets for concerts and live events

·         Limited-edition collectible ticket designs featuring artists, tour artwork and venue information

·         Affordable pricing for fans who wish to receive a physical keepsake

·         Partnerships between artists, venues, and ticketing companies to preserve concert memorabilia for future generations

 

WHY THIS MATTERS

·         Paper tickets create lasting memories

·         They serve as collectible pieces of music history

·         They provide tangible souvenirs for fans of all ages

·         They enhance the concert experience

·         They preserve traditions that have connected music lovers for decades

 

Concerts are about more than attending a show; they are about creating memories that last a lifetime. Let’s bring back a tradition that helped generations of fans celebrate the music they love.
