Description

DISCOUNTED PRICE!!! WON'T LAST LONG!!!
This listing features
(1) ORIGINAL ticket
from a concert which took place on May 10th, 1968 at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara, CA and was headlined by The Yardbirds (aka Led Zeppelin).
This particular concert took place during the summer of 1968 and was one of the very last shows prior to the band's historical name change.
Yardbirds changed their name to Led Zeppelin and would go on to become one of the biggest rock bands in music history! However, the Yardbirds were a HUGE act in their own right with full time band members such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page & Jeff Beck!
This incredibly rare ticket allowed someone to gain entry to the iconic show! Other notable bands on the bill included Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick Tich, Turquoise and Three Dog Night.
The ticket measures approximately 4 1/8" x 6 1/8" in size. As you can see, the example offered here is individually numbered with the serial number: #1440.
NOTE: The photos showing (3) tickets is for display purposes only. This listing is for (1) single ticket serial numbered #1440.
CONDITION
: This gorgeous ticket is in NEAR MINT (or better) condition with bright sharp psychedelic colors! Frankly, it's hard to believe that this ticket is nearly 55 years old!
Typically, the old concert tickets were stacked immediately after printing. As a result, many vintage concert tickets from this era will show some residual ink on the backside.
Since this process was used by the original printing company (and ink can be seen on the back of every single ticket from this particular show), this ink bleeding on the back of each ticket is NOT considered a flaw by dealers and/or collectors.
In fact, the ink on the back of each ticket is used by collectors to ensure authenticity! If your vintage 1968 Yardbirds ticket from the May 10 show at Earl Warren Showgrounds does NOT show the "Egyptian eye" image with various colored ink on the reverse, it's NOT an original concert ticket! Always make sure your Yardbirds May 10th ticket has a similar reverse.
The vintage ticket offered here is incredibly rare! Over time, most of these vintage concert tickets were lost, damaged or destroyed. So finding one at all is EXTREMELY difficult! Finding an example in THIS condition is next to impossible!
Again, the May 1968 concert in Santa Barbara was one of The Yardbirds very last shows! Within months, the band would change its name to Led Zeppelin and the rest is music history!
You know EXACTLY what you're getting with this one! It's an INVESTMENT QUALITY item guaranteed to increase in value over time! The buy it now price is an absolute bargain! This artwork used for this ticket was also used for the poster. And recently, the poster was cited as one of the most iconic posters of all time! See last image.
Considering the condition and rarity, we don't expect this one to last very long! Please review photos carefully prior to purchase.
Frank Bettencourt, the artist who designed the ticket offered here, is actually a fellow Texan. I've been fortunate to  acquire a ton of original posters and tickets from the Frank Bettencourt collection.
COA: Certificate of Authenticity from Mike's Vinyl & Vintage is available upon request!
EXPEDITED SHIPPING! The ticket will be shipped via USPS PRIORITY MAIL and should arrive within 3-5 business days!
