ticket stubs

Torn entry proofs

Ticket stubs are the portions of tickets retained after entry to an event or venue.

The stub serves as proof of admission—kept by the holder while the other half is collected at the door.

People save ticket stubs as mementos: I found old concert ticket stubs in a shoebox.

The term persists even as physical tickets give way to digital equivalents.
