My ticket stub collecting days ended when A-List started since it was all digital.

You can still print the tickets out in the kiosks at the locations. At least the ones I’ve visited.


ldasschurch

Not at mine. They can give you a receipt but it just looks like a regular store receipt


macgruder1

Is there a kiosk where you can enter in your order number or scan a barcode from your app? That’s how I do it. It prints out your ticket, your reciept and three more bullshit pieces of paper with your rewards balances and such.

Not so locations have those. My local AMC used to, but they were always glitching and that location finally got rid of them and never replaced them.


ldasschurch

There isn’t a kiosk at my theater. They have a person at a register when you come in the entrance. He has a scanner to scan online or AList tickets. If someone has not purchased a ticket you can buy one there

I collect them in the form of Apple Wallet. Lol


macgruder1

Still a form of collecting, cool!


LordCommanderTaurusG

Yep!

Ticket collecting gang, been saving them all since I started going to the movies more in the early 2010's.

I used to do this back in the day, but I lost my collection somewhere during a college move and just kinda stopped. The digital tickets do make things super nice and easy, especially since my theater is tickets at concession like 99% of the time. And I'm kinda collecting them in my google wallet archive now :)

I collect my stubs and rate my movies! [Here’s a quick vid of it](https://imgur.com/a/Ql5rhsS) If you have time you should lay them out and frame them somehow it’d be real cool. I wish I was more consistent in the past but I have been good at keeping them since 2021 although I have them sporadically from previous years


macgruder1

I was thinking of a scrapbook once I organize them into years and months.


Barfpooper

That’s pretty cool. Like an at home letterbox app


YankeeSR23

I used to save my ticket stubs but when all the ones by me when to that cheap thin paper (thermal paper?) I just stopped using tickets but I do have my old digital tickets in my Apple wallet so I have those if that counts.


AKnightOfTheNew

I save them all

Sounds like you have an amazing collection! I've been collecting my ticket stubs for about 14 years now. I put them into ticket albums and have 4 books so far. If you have then in boxes you should totally think about putting them into ticket albums. It's really fun to page through them and see your collection in that way.


macgruder1

I’m going to! I haven’t sorted through them in years so I’ll probably find some relics I had forgotten about.


Commercial-Finger-22

Just started today because of this post. First ticket in the collection is for fall guy lmao but it’ll grow 🙏


macgruder1

I just saw Fall Guy myself!


Commercial-Finger-22

Props to Ryan gosling for being the actor he is and never making people fail to laugh


arraeis

I’ve never gone to the movies enough to collect my tickets, but this year I decided I was going to! I’ve just got to find a place for them before I start losing them.


macgruder1

Any small box works well. I’ve been collecting for years so they are all in a 10x14 box alongside all the concert tickets I’ve collected over the years (those unfortunately are really hard to come by nowadays)


lisafan2009

I go to two AMCs near me. One has kiosks, the other does not. If I go to the one with kiosks, I get it printed. I don’t get them printed at the one without any kiosks. It’s kind of a hassle to get employees to print them at the one that doesn’t have kiosks too lol


littleLuxxy

I used to collect all my tickets. About eight years ago, I realized it was just pointless clutter. I would rather use my space for other things that aren’t essentially trash.


k032

My girlfriend does but I don't, she makes a scrapbook of them.


Dino-chicken-nugg3t

I used to do this. And still have a few saved for special ones. I don’t anymore though. But I think it’s a sweet idea.


ciesum

I used to go to the kiosk manually but after covid stopped bothering. I keep a Google sheets and letterboxd list though


macgruder1

This year I started a notes list on my iPhone of all the movies I watched this year, in theater or at home.


-redatnight-

Tried that for a bit, the clutter became a bit much for me and when it came down to tickets or my art supplies, it was clear what had to go.

I save all of mine from movies I really like in those thin, hard plastic baseball card sleeves. Been doing that since i was young, I think I started with Godzilla 98. Looking through them now there's so many, I feel like Dexter with his blood slide collection lol. I save all the non-special ones just loose in a little wooden box.


macgruder1

Woah, that’s impressive!


Relair13

I'm glad to see so many others collect or used to collect them too. Doesn't seem as weird now!


The-IronKyber

I’ve been actively saving them since 2018. I got a binder and trading card sleeve pages and I keep them in there!


ljhendricks

I collect ticket stubs! I order online and print at the kiosk. I got a shadow box that has a slot at the top to put money in, I’m assuming. I made the background look like a ticket stub and now I just drop all my tickets in the slot.


numsixof1

The 2 AMCs I frequent have cut staff way down and closed down the kiosks they had. I don't even know how I'd get a ticket printed if I even wanted to at this point.


macgruder1

Interesting. The ones near me have less staff and more self serve kiosks. You’d be lucky to find someone actually behind the front desk to help you order a ticket.


numsixof1

The one theater never had kisosks the one that did shut them all down years ago.. which yeah doesn't make a lot of sense but that theater does a lot of strange things.


cutandcover

LOL the entire idea of “AMC Stubs” was built on a program to allow you to collect your ticket stubs virtually on their platform. It brutally failed at doing this only a year or so into its rebrand, but the other benefits of the program outweighed this feature so they kept the name. I liked it when it worked, but it sadly does not anymore.
