BEATLES TICKET STUB FROM JUNE 1966 ESSEN WEST GERMANY CONCERT – SUPER SCARCE!!

Description

OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:
From June 24-26, 1966, the Beatles played three cities in West Germany: Munich, Essen and Hamburg. They performed two shows in each of these cities – for a total of six shows -- before heading for Japan and the Philippines. Following their third North American tour in August, their touring days came to an end.
The ticket stub offered here is from the second German stop
–
at Essen’s Gruga-Halle on June 25
th
. This stub is from the 5:00 pm show, as indicated by the “1700 Uhr” below the date. It’s in nice condition, especially considering that the paper is thin fragile and fragile. It was long ago folded vertically down the center, but had been stored flat for so long that the fold line is not a visual detriment. There is some light ink wear on the left side of the front of the ticket as shown in the photo. There is an embossed stamp on the left side, as well, which appears on all of these tickets.
The reverse side features an endorsement for the tour sponsor -- BRAVO, the German teen magazine. (
"Bravo Beatles Blitztournee” translates to “Bravo Beatles Blitz Tour”, a reference to the brevity of the German leg of the tour.)
The center crease on this side has minimally affected the printing but, again, not too much of a detriment. Look at the photos and decide for yourself.
The ticket is larger than most from back in the day, measuring an impressive 4-7/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches (approximate). It will be shipped, as shown, in an inch thick plexi screw-down card holder. This will protect the ticket while it’s in transit and is also perfect for display purposes in your collection.
Tickets to their German shows in ’66 are super scarce and seldom come up for sale. This ticket is a fine example from their very short German tour of 1966. Don’t miss this chance to add this to your collection as they don’t come along often!
