My Stub Hub

My boss always asks me how many sporting events I’ve gone to in my recent years. It seems that I’ve gone to a lot thanks to access I have to tickets through work. Well I recently decided to actually find out how many games I have been to.

For a few years now I’ve kept all my ticket stubs in a box. Recently I decided to actually peer into the box and organize the many tickets I have laying in there.

After organizing and counting them here’s my current tally:

• 28 Nationals games (3 in 2006, 8 in 2007, 17 in 2008)
• 26 Wizards games (7 in 2006-2007, 19 in 2007-2008)
• 6 Wizards games (2 in 2006-2007, 4 in 2007-2008)
• 4 Redskins games (2 in 2006, 2 in 2007)
• 12 Orioles games (4 in 2006, 5 in 2007, 3 in 2008)
• 1 Red Sox game (thanks Mike!)
• 1 Patriots game (pre-season)
• 1 New England Revolution game (circa 1997)
• 2 Sea Dogs games (thanks FSC!)
• 2 Georgetown Basketball games (I also got to see the NCAA tournament this year)
• 3 Maryland Football games (thanks to my Maryland friends for that one)
• 1 UNC Baseketball game (part of that scandalous New Years)
• Various Verizon Center Events (including 2 WWE Raw shows)
• Various other concerts (I keep all my DMB stubs in a scrapbook already)

I’ve certainly been to a lot of sporting events. It appears like I need to increase my hometown sporting event experience. It’s also interesting to see the number of movies I’ve seen over the past years after I counted those ticket stubs.

• 4 movies so far in 2008 (plus one advanced screening)
• 8 movies in 2007
• 12 movies in 2006
• 5 movies in 2005
• 8 movies in 2004
• 11 movies in 2003
• 9 movies in 2002
• 11 movies in 2001
• 3 movies in 2000
• 3 movies in 1999
• 4 movies in 1998

I’m not much of a movie theatre person- I’m not surprised that most of the time I’ll average around 7 movies per year. Netflix and watching movies at home has been a big factor in keeping those numbers low.

So what to do now that I organized all these stubs? Well That’s My Ticket sells ticket stub albums as well as lanyards, frames, and other display items. Sounds like I got some scrapbooking to do.
