Prince Concert Ticket Stub (Macy's & Revelations Presents)

This item is a used, paper concert ticket stub from a Prince performance, part of the 'Macy's & Revelations Presents' series. The ticket appears to be made of standard white thermal paper, commonly used for event tickets, with printed text in black, red, and potentially some faded green or yellow hues. Key physical characteristics and markings include: * **Event:** PRINCE, explicitly stated. * **Date & Time:** SAT JUL 7 2007, 8:30PM. * **Venue:** TARGET CENTER. * **Promoter/Sponsor:** MACY'S & REVELATIONS PRES. Also 'TM-SPON' is visible, likely indicating Ticketmaster sponsorship. * **Ticketmaster Branding:** The distinctive 'ticketmaster' logo and name are clearly visible at the bottom of the stub, along with a prominent barcode (529487129744) for scanning. * **Seat Information:** Provides details such as '104', 'S 28', 'M 99.52' (potentially price or section), and 'LONER LEVEL'. Other numbers like 'CAR115X', 'CH 02918', 'AC 97.77', and 'M31MAY7' are present, likely internal Ticketmaster codes or seat specific details. * **Restrictions:** 'NO CAMERAS / NO RECORDERS' is clearly printed, indicating event policies. * **Condition:** The ticket stub exhibits clear signs of use and age. It has been torn from its original full ticket, as indicated by the jagged left edge. There are creases and folds visible, particularly near the top left corner. The coloration appears slightly faded or discolored, which is common for thermal paper tickets over time. The edges show some wear, and the overall paper might have a soft, aged feel. The presence of other items (possibly stamps) in the background suggests it might have been collected or stored in an album, which could contribute to its current state of preservation. * **Estimated Age:** Given the explicit date of July 7, 2007, the ticket is approximately 17 years old. This stub represents a tangible piece of music history from a significant artist.
