DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL SCANS) THE BEATLES HAD LEFT LONDON AT NOON ON AUGUST 18, 1964 AND HEADED TO THE UNITED STATES TO COMMENCE THEIR "FIRST AMERICAN TOUR". THIS WAS SOMETHING OF A MISNOMER SINCE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS CERTAINLY THE GROUP'S FIRST JAUNT AROUND THE CONTINENT, IT WAS ACTUALLY THEIR SECOND CONCERT-PLAYING VISIT TO THE U.S.A. . PLAYING 25 DATES, THE TOUR ALSO VENTURED INTO CANADA. IT STARTED IN SAN FRANCISCO ON AUGUST 19 AND FINISHED UP ON SEPTEMBER 18 IN DALLAS TEXAS. A 26TH SHOW, A CHARITY CONCERT IN AID OF THE UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY, WAS HELD AT THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE IN NEW YORK CITY ON SEPTEMBER 20. ON THE 22ND DATE OF THIS TOUR, THE BEATLES PLAYED IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA AT CITY PARK STADIUM ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 16, A ONE SHOW PERFORMANCE AT 8:00 PM BEFORE A SOLD-OUT CAPACITY AUDIENCE OF 12,000 FANS. IT WAS THE ONLY TIME THE BEATLES PERFORMED IN NEW ORLEANS. HERE WE PRESENT A MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT, FULL UNUSED TICKET TO THAT SHOW. MEASURING 4" X 2", THE OLIVE GREEN TICKET IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION IN EVERY ASPECT. THE PRINT, COLOR AND CRISPNESS OF THIS EXAMPLE IS BRILLIANT. THE "GLOBE" TICKET COMPANY INSIGNIA LOGO PRINTED IN THE BACKGROUND ON BOTH SIDES IS CLEARLY VISIBLE AS WELL. A 1964 NEW ORLEANS FULL TICKET IS ONE OF THE MOST OBSCURE AND MOST DIFFICULT BEATLES CONCERT FULL TICKETS TO ACQUIRE. WE BELIEVE THAT NO OTHER CAN MATCH THE CONDITION OF THIS EXAMPLE BEING OFFERED HERE. |
