I stick mine on the wall, after disassembling a room twice looking for them one year.
Turns out they were right where they were supposed to be, only stuck to the back of the org paperwork.
Didn't figure it out until I started over, completely baffled.

Inside Led Zeppelin's fourth record jacket featuring hits such as Stairway to Heaven..very befitting. Check on them every couple of months because I miss them and I want to make sure no one has "manifested" them away from me. :wink: :wink:

AntiM ~ I really have NO IDEA where I put them! LOL It's funny now, but it won't be funny next week if I tear the house up and don't find them...

p.s. The frig incident is exactly why I moved them. THat's like having a $100 bill sitting on the front seat of your car. "Incentive" for someone to do something stoooopid.

God I hate Stairway. So did the band apparently. Overplayed and overhyped. I skip it whenever it comes up on my CD. I could go the rest of my life never hearing it and be perfectly content.

My ticket is in a special drawer that holds only tickets to concerts and Burning Man. I look at the BM ticket once a month. The closer to the Burn the more often I look at the ticket…..once a week then once a day. A week before I leave for Burning Man I put the ticket behind my ID in my wallet and remove the previous Burning Man ticket. I still look at the ticket daily in my wallet to make sure it’s still there………..

BTW bob where do you keep ur ticket?? In the drawer with your purses and panties?? :lol: :lol: :lol: HAHA

You're supposed to be sharing with community where the hell you stash your tickets, NOT trying to rip on folks' musical interests!! There's several threads that already cover that arena...And yes I am laughing at you, not with you!!

I used to keep them on my mirror in my room, looked at them every day. Then 2 burns ago they fell behind the dresser... It took me 6 hours of very stressed searching to locate them! (of course I ended up unloading everything from my car and going through every bin, box, bag and sock...)

I ended up starting my 2900Km drive one day later than planned due to my stupidity.

Now I have my tickets waiting for me at will-call. MUCH easier, since I literally CANNOT forget them.

That, fortunately is not a problem. I need passport, drivers license & travel health insurance papers in order to enter the US.

I have had to wait at will call for them to open. (that Black Rock sunrise is amazing ;)

On the fridge, no HST sticker...other burn tickets go straight in my glove box, so I don't forget them...like I have done in the past.
