Condition report:

The items show signs of handling and age consistent with used ephemera. Tour programmes exhibit some creasing, edge wear, and surface marking. Ticket stubs are mounted within a self-adhesive style photo album; some remain behind plastic film while others may be adhered directly to page surfaces. Several tickets show fading to thermal ink, and some have handwritten notations or ink stamps. Overall, the collection is a well-preserved archive of live events.
