Your ticket stub stories...
Have a favourite ticket stub, that you've kept for years....Why ? Tell as your story. Whether is a memorable footie match, a night at the flics of even just an old travel ticket. Every stub has a story, a memory that takes you back to the day you tucked it into your pocket and thought, 'Yeah, Im gunna keep that as a momento...'
Well, here's mine......
For me it would have to be R.E.M at St.James Church, Piccadilly, London - 15th September 2004.
I'd heard a few months previous that they were due in London and they there were to play a 'Unique London venue'. But that was all we knew....I was already desperate to see them, and the 'Unique venue' element had made it an absolutely must see.. without fail expedition.
A few weeks passed and then, the news I had been longing to hear. It would be a predominantly fan-club member / competition winners invite only. Heh, I was a member and had been for 11 years. I was convinced that my 'Congratulation your coming' email was already winging its way to me direct from REMHQ. So there I sat for another week crouched underneath my email 'letter box' checking at seemingly hourly intervals for the pending news.
Another week passed but alas nothing. Then news had started to filter through. Emails has begun to arrive at the lucky recipients., damm it.
And then at 1548hrs Sep 1st...a message arrived.
"R.E.M. will be playing a special evening show at a unique and intimate London venue on Wednesday 15th September. We would like to invite you and one guest to attend this performance"...........aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrgggggggg yyyyyyyeeeessssss. I was going.
A week later we found out more details of the venue, which we were asked to keep to ourselves. And a more appropriate venue they could of decided upon. A small church in the middle of Piccadilly, St James.
The 15th seems to take an age to arrive but eventually it did and I'd already decided that it would start early. I wasn't completely sure what time I should arrive and the guest I'd invited would only be leaving work at 5pm and there was no way I was waiting until them. So I set off at about 10am and got to 'Church' at about half 11. A small queue of crazy fan-clubbers (whom I later learned were called Lucy, Bell, Julia and husband) had already arrived and I joint them as number five in line. The lead up to doors @ 7.30pm seems to fly by. During the wait each would take their turn to visit the local chippy and loo whilst the others held their space for their return.
The doors finally opened and we flooded in. I was lucky enough to get a place right at the stage. Right underneath where Mike Mills would stand and so the night began (one that I would never forget).
An amazing venue with the acoustics to match, framing a perfect picture of Michael, Mike and Peter on stage, seemingly enjoying the evening us much as we did.
The thought that we were actually there, front row, 2 feet away from the guys, even now, gives me an happy contented feeling. I could talk through the set list, the surprise arrival on stage for one song of Thom Yorke and the sweaty exhausted, yet exhilarating ending through the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahs of 'Man on the Moon' but I would probably go on forever. Needless to say that this memorable night would remain strong with me for many, many years. As I'm sure it will with many other friends and fans alike.
