Do you collect tickets or ticket stubs? Maybe you’ve kept every stub from the concerts and games you’ve been to, or you hunt down vintage tickets at the antique mall — circus passes, railroad tickets, Super Bowl stubs, whatever catches your eye. Whether it’s a piece of history or your very first concert, these little pieces of paper carry a lot of memory, and paper doesn’t hold up well in a drawer.

The right way to protect a ticket depends on its size and how you want to keep it. Below is an updated guide to the most common ticket sizes and the pocket pages, toploaders, and semi-rigid holders built to match them.

Ticket sizes vary by venue and printer, so measure yours against the dimensions below before ordering. If your ticket doesn’t fit neatly into one of these five categories — an oversized season-ticket sheet, a screw-down-worthy game ticket you carry with you, or something in between — browse the full lineup or drop a note in the comments and we’ll point you to the right fit, like we have for years.

Find the Best Way to Store Your Tickets 

These are the five sizes we see most often. If yours runs bigger — a full program insert or ticket sheet — check out our magazine holders. And if your ticket falls in between two of these, browse our full range of pocket pages, toploaders, and holders by size to find your closest match.

Pages & Albums (Best for organizing collections)

If you’re storing multiple tickets, a binder with pocket pages is the easiest way to keep everything organized and easy to view.

BCW’s LaserWeld® pages are the current standard (replacing older “Pro Pages”). They’re made from archival-safe polypropylene and use strong laser-welded seams so pages lay flat and reduce glare.

Common LaserWeld page options for tickets

Page	Best for	Pocket Size	Product Links
20-Pocket Tobacco Page	Small stubs (raffle, drink, carnival)	1 5/8″ × 2 3/4″	50 pk & 100 pk
8-Pocket Page	Smaller admission tickets	2 3/4″ × 4 1/16″	50 pk & 100 pk
4-Pocket Currency Page	Longer concert or GA tickets	2 3/4″ × 6 9/16″	50 pk & 100 pk
3-Pocket Currency Page	Large commemorative tickets	3 11/16″ × 8 3/16″	50 pk & 100 pk
2-Pocket Envelope Page	VIP passes / long formats	4 1/4″ × 11 1/4″	50 pk & 100 pk

These pages weren’t originally designed for tickets—but they work extremely well when the size matches.

Prefer to store tickets loose instead of in a binder? Our card sleeves offer the same archival-safe protection in an individual, lower-cost format.

Sleeves & Holders (Best for individual protection)

Not every ticket belongs in a binder. If you’re storing a single ticket, displaying it, mailing it, or carrying it with you, a sleeve or holder is usually the better option.

Most BCW products aren’t labeled specifically for tickets—but collectors regularly use holders designed for cards, currency, and photos. What matters most is the fit, not the label.

Three Ways to Protect Your Ticket Memories

Most collectors use:

•  Pocket pages to organize collections.
• Toploaders to provide rigid protection.
• Semi-rigids to offer flexible support

These are the three most common options—but they’re not the only ones.

Toploaders & Semi-Rigid Holders

The 3×7 Ticket Topload Holder is the most common rigid holder for tickets.

• Interior: 3⅛” × 7⅛”
• Rigid PVC protection
• Open on the short side
• 25 per pack

This is what we recommend for most concert and commemorative tickets.

Semi-Rigid Holder #5

A great alternative when the fit is slightly off.

• Interior: 3⅜” × 7″
• Slightly wider, slightly shorter than 3×7
• 50 per pack

Works well for tickets that don’t quite fit a standard toploader.

Other helpful options

• 3×4 Toploader → Smaller tickets and passes
• Currency Toploader (Regular Bill) → Long, narrow tickets

These weren’t made for tickets—but they often work well if the size matches.

When to Use Other Holders

• Screw-down holders: Best for display and long-term protection of higher-value or sentimental tickets 
• Sleeves: Good for bulk storage or budget setups
• Magnetic / snap holders: Display-focused options

For a ticket you’ll handle repeatedly — carrying it into a stadium gate after gate — a screw-down holder gives you the same rigid protection with a more secure close.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are questions we’ve answered many times in the comments over the years—now all in one place.

I need a hard plastic holder to carry my ticket during a game. What should I use?

Go with the 3×7 Ticket Topload Holder. It’s rigid, protective, and designed for this exact use.

Do you have a screw-down case for tickets?

Yes—1-screw and 4-screw holders. They offer a more secure closure and are great for tickets you’ll handle often.

My ticket doesn’t match any of these sizes. What do I do?

Measure it and choose the closest larger option.
If you’re storing individually, sleeves can also work even without a perfect fit.

I have a full sheet of season tickets (around 11″ × 14″). What fits?

Look at magazine holders. They’re the closest option, even if slightly oversized.

Final Thoughts

There’s no single “ticket holder” that works for everything—because ticket sizes aren’t standardized.

• Use pages for collections
• Use toploaders for protection
• Use semi-rigids for flexibility
• Use sleeves or specialty holders when needed

Start with your ticket size, then choose the closest fit.
