About This Collection
Hello. My name is Siân, and I am a London-based live entertainment enthusiast and ticket hoarder. This blog is the online version of my collection. It’s an ongoing project and I still have a backlog of seven years to scan and post. All the posts are back-dated to match the ticket shown.
Reasons for Posting the Tickets:
- I’m quite proud of keeping such a complete collection — I’m only missing a few tickets — and I want to show it off.
- They have great sentimental value. They represent the history of my life since moving to London and, as my friend Gigi put it, “This is a record of how we’ve become friends.”
- It serves as a blog about my activities, as I'm generally too busy to maintain a proper wordy one.
I hope you enjoy looking around, and perhaps some of the tickets will prompt happy memories of your own theatre-going.
Missing
Some of the ones that got away!
- Almost anything pre-2002.
