Maybe I shouldn't be reviewing this yet, since I've yet to actually put a ticket into it...

What I don't think was adequately mentioned in the product description (or else I missed it) is that the book is made up of different pages for different size tickets -- and if you're like me and want to use it for just concert tickets, that leaves a substantial number of pages that don't work as well...including several just-one-opening-per-page pages.

It would be nice to have the flexibility to change the order of the pages, so you could put tickets (regardless of size) in chronological order.

There are adhesive tabs included that are supposed to only stick permanently to the album pages (and act kind of like a post-it on the tickets themselves.) I'm not sure if I'd really trust that, but at least that would enable one to secure smaller tickets in a larger opening.

Despite these criticisms, I think the idea itself is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to finding the time to actually get all my old concert tickets out of the tin they're thrown in and have them all neatly arranged (and remember the days when you could see a major act in an arena for less than $20!)

and organize them in this diary! I totally dorked out gathering all my concert ticket stubs from all the way back to my first concert up through today.

This tidy little hardbound book will help you bring back memories as you flip through the pages, remembering all the concerts in your life. The majority of pages fit the "standard" ticketmaster size very well, even if the stub isn't torn (nowadays they scan it, so the ticket never gets torn.) There are also additional size folios that will hold sporting event tickets, stickers, backstage passes, and other music memorabilia.

Makes a great gift for the live music lover that never bothered to do anything with those ticket stubs.

Finally, a place to keep ticket stubs from all of your favorite events - concerts, sports, theatre, movies. You know, the ones in your desk drawer, dresser drawer, kitchen counter, and desk? No excuse not to get organized, and the diary allows you to write in stuff about the event you want to remember. It's small and beautifully designed, and a great gift. Our family loves it and will be giving out lots for gifts this holiday season. Great job Eric Epstein!

Must be really old stock; I ordered 3 as requested gifts. The glue on all 3 of the bindings was dried up. The pages are separate from the binding. Now I will have to get a glue product that will repair them, to avoid the return hassle. My advice is make your own!!

Actually I decided to take my own advice and will go to a scrapbooking store. Kudos to Amazon for the easy return option.

Notice how old many of the reviews are..

Great idea and design. The diary is small - not bulky and won't take up a lot of space if your bookshelves are already crowded and space is a concern. However, despite the compact size, the diary holds a lot of tickets and offers an ample number of lines to write your thoughts so you won't forget the details of the event. The cover is sporty too.

I bought this book to put special ticket stubs in, but the slots are too small. The dimension for tickets is 2.5" x 4.5"! I don't have any tickets this short to put into the book. So I have to fold the ticket or have it stick out over the comment area. I have tickets from NBA games, concerts, rodeo, and Disney on ice. I am disappointed and wanted to share my frustration to help others avoid being stuck with this book! If I had a chance to see it before I purchased it, I would never have bought it!

I just wanted to tell everyone that there are three different "ticket window" sizes. I happen to think this works out fine as I have some ticket stubs that are larger than your usual 4+" x 2", which fit nicely in the 4+" x 3+" window. Also recently I got an E-Ticket which comes on 8 1/2" x 11" paper, yet if folded or trimmed, the ticket info fits perfectly in the third window size of 4" x 6+". Not to mention that this third option is perfect for 4x6 photos. Besides the attractive exterior design, the flexibility of window size is very useful. Also included are double stick "dots" to hold your treasures absolutely straight if you are a neat freak like me. I will also mention that each page has a column of lines next to the windows for notes or special memories of the event. Bravo!

I had been keeping our ticket stubs just loose in a drawer. This diary provides a much better alternative. The tickets stay in better shape and they are organized so it is easier to locate a specific one or to reminisce. The diary does have different sized pockets, but the larger ones are all in the back. Since I like to have the tickets in chronological order that doesn't really work for me, so I just double up - I put multiple tickets in the larger pockets.

Overall I really like it. I've fit tickets from concerts, plays and sporting events in it. I wish it had more pages and that I could move the pages around, though. I'd like to have everything in chronological order, but the pages are organized by ticket size. I've already filled one and have ordered a couple more.

It is really a cute add on gift. My sister collects Playbills and tickets so it suited her well. It would be nice if other colors were available.
