Farewell to the Ticket Stub

This week I’m buying tickets for Wicked on Broadway (an anniversary gift for my parents.) These will be "e-tickets" that you print at home, similar to the way you print boarding passes for airline flights. Moving forward, this looks to be the way all forms of ticketing will take place, which is sad in a way because the old box office machine generated paper tickets were nice souvenirs. Just for old times sake, I went into the Pop Culture Fiend Archives and dug out a few of my old stubs.
