I started collecting back in '97 when Empire Strikes Back was re-released.. then there was a flood in my basement back in 2001 and they were all destroyed. I started again with Evolution in June of '01. Have way too many to count, but it's just a little thing I like doing since I love the movie-going experience.
How about you?

I have been collecting mine for years...since around 1990. I have a really big collection now. They all go in a box with concert and theatre tickets.

I would save the stub if it was a movie I liked. A year or so later I would look at them and ask my sister "Do you remember when we went to go see ________." We'd laugh about it and start discussing the movie all over again. Now it's every once in a blue moon that I go to the movies, so I've stopped keeping them. Glad to know I'm not the only one who did that. :)

Yep, ever since I got a movie journal for Christmas a few years ago. There's a pocket in it - which I presumed was for stubs - so I figured why not.
I'm on my second journal now and made sure to find one that had a similar pocket in it for stubs.

Yep - been stashing them in a drawer since the mid-90s.

I have every ticket stub since 85. I usually put them under the pastic on top of the artwork on the DVDs of the movie if I own it.

I saved my tickets for one year from one theater, the AFI Silver. I keep them as a memento because that year my wife made a sizable donation to the AFI in my name and for the following year I could see anything I wanted without charge.

Yup, I've been saving mine since about 96 or so. Just toss them in this little brass box I have.

I don't save them per se. I just never clean my wallet.

I am 34 and have almost every stub from every concert/movie/sporting event I have been to in the last 24 years. Some older. They go in my drawer and then to a sealed tupperware type container into the attic.
wow. I guess me saying I've been saving since '01 sounds very un-impressive after that post ^^^

wow. I guess me saying I've been saving since '01 sounds very un-impressive after that post ^^^I know. I feel outdone. Chances are though he'll die of old age, and since he's much older than me, by that time I'll have the same amount collected. :D

been collecting them since the early '90's. I think Speed is the earliest. I don't go to the theater as much as I used to but I still keep them when I do go.

Yep. Put them in a scrapbook, too. Been collecting since 1996.

I used to, but not so much anymore. I lose some occasionally. I don't need any more clutter than I already have.

I have some actual ticket stubs, but others are sales receipts that say the movie name. Not sure when I really started, but I have a decent little collection now. Always wanted to start doing that, but never got around to it, 'til one day I just started and have been since.

I pretty much do but not officially. I have a cup on my dresser which I shove every sporting even ticket as well as movie ticket stub into when I get home. The first one I remember saving was T2 so I've been doing it for almost 20 years now!

I never thrown them out. Eventually I clean out stuff I don't need (like ticket stubs) and will have a laugh looking at all the movies I've seen.
I don't do this for concerts though. Those I keep.

I stopped collecting them the day I washed my jeans and Sin City stub made a mess of my pocket.

I was going to link that, as I was sure that the thread was only a couple months old. But it's been a year? Wow, I could have sworn it was this year.
Have randomly saved mine over the years and have thrown them in my huge scrapbox. I'm a guy, so I can't make scrapbooks. But I have a box that has been slowly upgraded to a footlocker to hold "mementos".
To try to keep the various receipts, ticket stubs, letters, pictures, etc organized, I've been using a large envelope for each year, with the year written in large letters with a Sharpie.
