I use them as bookmarks - it's really nice to pick up a book I've read before and find the ticket in there - brings back memories in a much more rounded way.

I’ve got tickets for all the shows I’ve attended since 2015 except the first two. One was a birthday present and my friend didn’t want me to know how much she’d paid for it, so kept hold of the ticket herself and the other was a print at home rubbish thing. All mine are stored in photo pockets in ring binders. Ive tried to keep them in chronological order but because of the difference in ticket/photo pocket sizes that hasn’t quite happened. All tickets like ATG are in chronological order in one folder, then all the slightly larger tickets like RUT are in another folder. As for leaflets I’ve got the ones that are signed in photo pockets in another ring binder, those that aren’t signed are just chucked in a box on my bookcase, with all my programmes lined up on the bookcase.

I have several boxes of tickets. A few Christmases ago I was bored and decided to put them all in order. So the boxes from about 2002-2015 are actually all chronologically sorted and banded together. I also implemented a 'system' for the boxes of programmes....and then I got bored with all that and 2015 onwards are just slung in several boxes.
One thing that did happen with a ticket a few years back is I was making a nice 'frame' display of a programme, ticket etc to hang on the wall. Except when I hung it up and looked at it I realised written in bold on the ticket was...the name of my ex who had booked the ticket...not exactly the memento you really want staring down at you every day. (Plot twist, since then we got in touch again, are on good terms and even went to the exact same play together last year.)

I've never consciously kept tickets - I have a few old ones shoved in programmes, and occassionaly find one in a book. Then for ages I deliberately didn't keep them, because I kept the programmes. But the friend I go to the theatre with now is a ticket keeper, and it has made me actually keep them. She makes scrapbooks and things, but I just shove mine inside the programme and shove that in my theatre box, if I remember. Sometimes I think I've thrown them away though, it's not a terribly deliberate process.
I must sort out my current theatre box, I noticed last weekend that it's really full. I have an 'old' theatre box with everything I saw from the 80s and 90s up to maybe early 2000s. Then I stopped going for a bit and the stuff from the last 7 years or so is in another box. I bought several large storage boxes a couple of years ago, and they're all full of STUFF.

I have two ticket stub organisers for all of my tickets. I got the first on a trip to New York and ordered the second online when it was full.
It's the "Just The Ticket Stub Organizer" and can be found online at a reasonable price.
I have yet to treat myself to a binder for my Playbills but that's a definite must soon as the box is getting very full!
