How to keep your ticket after an event at Guv

I want to keep part of the ticket for any ticketed Guvernment event and find it impossible because of the guys at the door.
They are supposed to rip one part and let you keep the rest however they don't lol
Is anyone having the same issue as me? Did you find a way around this?
I really wanna keep my part of the ticket for PVD

theres no way for the to resell the tickets through scalpers if they rip it in half!

buy a hundred tickets you'd be doing such a sweet selfless act by making it a ninety-nine people less crowded !

the next time you are about to enter ask the person taking tickets if they can just rip off the stub that they need and if you can keep the other portion as a souvenier.

Do what Chinamon suggested...

As for PvD it should be a good show, listening to "In Between" for the first time today (and yesterday) and a lot of it is good, the only spectacular stuff is the melodic tracks but you get a rare amount and if you do they're only 3 min or so. Blah. Glad that a set of his come the 24th won't be filled a lot of the vocal stuff off the album. (at least I hope not!!)

In circles blew me away, reminds me in some parts to forbidden fruit.

Bring a cam and take some nice pictures, it's better than keeping the ticket imo.

I've listened to the "in between" album soo much that I am sick of it and I will not listen to it until i hear it live!! warning to people, if u have a good album do not over listen to it,, u will ruin it for yourself.. as far as my fav track on in between that would have to be 'D�tournement' amazing classical violins,, i love that in trance!

haha I've tried to keep my guv ticket like over 10 times to no avail.

I was hoping that (based on the thread title) you had found a way! lol

Posted by endless_summer on Nov-07-2007 05:54:

i did ask them to rip the ticket and give me my part of it but the 2 guys that are usually at the door pretend that they don't understand me, exchange few words in Portuguese among themselves and show me in
i understand that it is easier to just take whole ticket from people coz so many ppl are getting in at the same time, when someone does ask why cant they just rip it? it only takes a sec
sorry jon jon, i am trying to figure this out too, i should have put a question mark in the title lol

you can always email someone in management ask them what the club policy is. maybe there is a reason why they take the entire ticket. but seeing that it's usually the same moron at the KH entrance taking the entire ticket, i wouldn't be surprised if its just pure laziness on his part that he doesn't rip the ticket.

maybe cause they only have 5000 tickets or the capacity, and they sell the unripped tickets to scalpers and overcrowd the place making more money or not

Detournement is very good as well, all the instrumental stuff is awesome, I wish he wouldn't do as much vocal tunage though and that the instrumentals were longer, but ah well.

As for Guv ticket stubs, I'm going to see if I can keep my ticket for this, I think I do have one left over from 01 when I saw him at Guv.

Just take a picture of your ticket...

It's a good album cover photo or whatever...
