I'm 48 and have a ticket stub collection of major sporting events and concerts that I've been to over the decades that has become pretty impressive.
A few of the best;
- 2012 Robin Williams in Calgary. So glad I got to see him live, even in a sit down conversation with moments of his stand-up routine. He was gone less than 2 years later.
- 1997 game four NBA finals, Chicago at Utah, Jordan on his way to winning 5 of 6 titles. Just Wow.
- 1999 PGA tour championship final round, Tiger Woods 4th tournament win of 6 in a row the first time he did it. It was also the tournament that Payne Stewart passed away flying to.
- 1986 NHL Smythe division finals Calgary/Edmonton games 3, 4, & 6
- 1989 Stanley Cup Finals games 1, 2, & 5
- 1998 Grey Cup in Winnipeg. Calgary beats Hamilton, the winning field goal with no time left to give Jeff Garcia his Grey Cup.
- 2004 Canadian Open, PGA final round where Vijay Singh beat Mike Weir in the 3rd hole of a sudden death playoff.
- 2004 World Cup of Hockey, Championship game. Mario Lemieux's last major win.
- Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, The Tragically Hip 3 times, Blue Rodeo 3 times, Paul McCartney, Guns N Roses, Madonna, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, The Offspring, Bryan Adams, Metallica, and many more.
- Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Cheech and Chong, Andrew Dice Clay, Roseanne Barr, and Norm Macdonald.
I will truly miss adding stubs to my collection. It's a lifetime of unforgettable memories that will become a framed collage one day soon.
