Here is me answering your question an hour after you asked it.

Well, I was hoping you would respond to my response to that...
But I suppose it doesn't matter now...
Still, I don't know if I'll be able to go, but I hope so...

If you really want to go then you will find a WAY. Don't sweat it.

hey all... i used the search function, but all the came up was hard tix (thermal paper tickets). so i guess my question is gonna be the first time its been asked:

to those that had printed your concert ticket in 'e-Ticket' format (the ones that come straight out from your own inkjet/laser printer), who's actually decided to laminate them to protect them before the show? it rained here a couple nites ago and the rain damaged part of one ticket (nowhere near the barcode, thankfully) when i was leaving the house to put em in my car. hate to think of the possible threats it may encounter for the next 3 and a half months...

i know e-Tickets have barcodes on them, but i'm sure the scanners can still read it thru the laminate. i suppose i should just call the venue and ask them about it, but i figured i would ask here first to get a general consensus about the idea/subject.

cheers........

I would not laminate them. I would keep them in a safe dry place -- in a large envelope.

Laminate them after the show if you wish to keep them as a souvenir.

I also would not keep them in your car. Cars get broken into more than houses do, trust me, I had Al stuff stolen. Luckily I got it back, but still.

Thermally printed concert tickets will be ruined if you heat laminate them. I would not recommend doing that even after the show if you wish to keep it for posterity. I would only use no-heat, self-adhesive laminating sheets.

Aren't e-tickets usually a pdf? If so, couldn't you just save and reprint if needed?

The tour begins in just 27 days...

With the tour starting up later this month, any speculation to what Al might sing about in HN?
