Every single match & season ticket/card since 1990. Quite a memorial to my time as a City fan! Time to get rid, it's just taking up space.

I'm also doing the same for all my gig tickets and cinema tickets (yes, I am quite the hoarder of tickets)

Started scanning them onto Facebook on Sunday night and still have an absolute shit-ton to get through, but once digitised, they're of no use to me, so they're all gonna be shredded and recycled. I'm keeping the two '1-0 in your cup final' tickets from 2011 for the memories, along with the first UCL game, for which I somehow ended up with a paper ticket, and I've already got my Gills ticket in a frame.

What do you guys reckon? Am I just being obsessive over what is essentially nothing? Or do you lot do the same as me, save every ticket for the memories for when you get Alzheimers?

I did briefly consider keeping one ticket from every league ground in a photo album, to see how close I can get to the 92, but I reckon just having to reorganise those every season would piss me off. Again, much easier to organise once digitised.

It was quite cathartic tearing the front covers off all my season ticket books and chucking the back ends into the recycling bin after putting them on Facebook, I can tell you.

Well... I WAS going to shred & reycled them, but then someone pointed out that I should sell them, or at least give them to him for nothing, so I checked eBay, and although they're not worth squat individually unless it's the QPR match or a cup final or some random swamp derby from 1934, I reckon I should at least put them on eBay in a single lot, with a 0.01p start price, and let the bidding commence, in case someone really wants that ticket from Bristol City away, or maybe just in case someone else thinks they can be arsed to list them all and make a killing from my castoffs. Seems a shame to shred them anyway now I've thought about it a bit. And I am now quite tempted to sell my cup final tickets as they're worth £20 a pop!

Take them to a match and use them as club confetti for the Southampton game, full circle and all that !

Sell the less important matches as a batch, there are specialist ticket collectors out there.

Try this forum for example:

Pop them on ebay mate, someone out there will be interested in those.. even if you only get a few quid its better than shredding them.

Im sure someone would be willing to buy them even if jjust as a meomory of the way football used to be, paper tickets are becoming rarer and rarer these days with smartcard systems in use and they may soon become extinct at top level clubs. The days of season ticket books are certainley over in the top flight, if not the whole Football League

Create some sort of art piece with them after you've shredded them or even before. Then pop it in a frame!
