Why Physical Ticket Stubs Are Becoming More Valuable

The Digital Revolution and Physical Ticket Values

The shift from physical to digital ticketing is one of the most significant trends affecting the ticket stub market. As venues move to mobile-only entry, physical ticket stubs are becoming increasingly rare for modern events. This scarcity effect is already being felt in the market — physical stubs from recent events carry more collector interest than they would have a decade ago simply because they're less common.

The digital transition also means that the era of physical ticket stubs will eventually end entirely for new events, making existing physical stubs a closed market with a permanently fixed supply. This dynamic suggests long-term appreciation for physical ticket stubs across all categories. StubHaul believes this trend makes now an excellent time to sell — or buy — ticket stubs.
