With the shift (I understand) to digital ticketing at PR next season, I assume that'll be the final death of paper tickets at ITFC?
It'll be sad - I had a rummage through my stash of old stubs this afternoon. So many matches and concerts I'd forgotten I'd ever been to, or still had the tickets for. First matches, great matches, naff matches, they're all there:
I also read this afternoon that Arsenal are now offering fans the opportunity to add a 'Souvenir Ticket' to their matchday experience, for the bargain price of £5.95. An absolute rip-off for something that used to be free. No doubt Town will do the same (untapped income streams, FFP, and all that...).
I wonder if there's a gap in the market that the Foundation, or some other worthy cause could fill?
I went to Hertha BSC vs Karlsruher SC back in the summer (Hertha also no longer doing physical tickets) and managed to pick up this fantastic effort:
It cost the grand sum of 50¢, and the proceeds (IIRC) went to some or other good cause. I don't know what demand would be like, but it would certainly be a good way of raising money for the Foundation, or FIND or suchlike.

I love flicking through my old ticket stubs, flipping through an email folder full of QR codes doesn't quite have the same appeal. I've got the majority of non-Portman-Road stubs I've had, but a few have gone missing though so I can't claim a complete set 
Watford v Ipswich (2010 I think)
Madrid v Ajax (2011)
Barcelona v Granada (2012)
Have all disappeared, I live in hope they'll turn up in a random draw one day.
Currently for home tickets, if you want a 'real' ticket without paying the postage, ticket office will print you one off if you pop in before the match. I got 'real' tickets as a memento for my daughter's first match last season (sadly it was Newcastle, so her memories aren't massively joyful ones!). |  | | |
