How to Organize Your Ticket Stub and Pocket Schedule Collection

Various tickets for hockey games

I loved saving the ticket stubs from the Chicago Blackhawks hockey games I went to when I was a kid. Each time I went to a game, I was sure to bring my stub to school the next day to show off to my friends and prove that I was there. Sometimes the games were important – all-star or playoff games – and sometimes it was just a Tuesday night regular season game. Regardless, it was cool to just go and then have that small, visual reminder that I could look back at. Over the years, I have also saved pocket schedules, rosters, lineup cards, score cards and any other piece of game or team-related memorabilia I could find.

Finding a good way to store your tickets is important so you can preserve and display them easily. As tickets come in various sizes, and tickets are often torn by the ticket taker, having solutions to store various sizes is needed.

Pages & Albums

One solution is to store your tickets in a 3-ring binder with protective pages. BCW offers archival-safe pages with pockets of various sizes. Below are the options.

Sleeves & Holders

If you do not like the 3-ring binder solution and want to save your tickets individually, BCW offers protective sleeves and holders. Originally designed for trading cards, these supplies work great for tickets and other small documents. Our small sleeves are made of clear, archival-safe polypropylene and protect the tickets while handling. For a rigid protection method, use a BCW card holder. Both the sleeves and holders come in various sizes. When choosing a holder, the closing method is also an important consideration (toploading, snap close, screw-down, etc.).

Semi-Rigid Ticket Holders are another affordable method to protect tickets individually.
