I have a theory. Ticket buyers get tickets. Then they sell them on stub hub and the buyer gets an electronic ticket. So they go to the game and use their e-ticket. But the original buyer still has the original unused ticket. Am I correct about that?

No. Season ticket holders are also all electrified. It’s all on phone apps now.. getting away from hard copies all together.

Much as I hate manufactured collectibles, I think the future is probably "Commemorative" tickets printed much after the event. Technology exists to print tickets on demand (for a fee) at the event.

Some teams will print tickets for season ticket holders, The San Jose Sharks wanted $100 for each seat this season so I passed. For the NHL All-Star game they sent STH a "Commemorative" ticket for their seats, which was interesting in that I didn't actually get to sit in my own seat for the AS game.

Yes, The LA Kings were the last to Print tickets, This year they use AXS and everything was electronic. Dodgers have been for years too. I was at Kershaws No-hitter and I shredded the paper ticket. My world series tickets were also paper the last 2 years unlike my WS tickets I display from 1974 and 1988.

It sucks. PERIOD

Got it. Then to answer the op the future of ticket collectors is relegated to the past. It’s now a dead collectible since they aren’t made.
A few years ago my employee went to the Jeter 3000 Hit game. He had a paper print out to get in. I know tickets exist for that but he didn’t get one and he was very upset about it. Tickets will be something we can tell our grandkids about.

Great question. Tickets are, unfortunately, going the way of _________ (fill in the blank) They will become obsolete. I can see a future time when events will manufacture scarcity by offering a limited number of paper tickets for an event, in order to drum up desire and these will sell for a premium.

In answering your question, a hobby friend once said to me "There is an ass for every seat." I don't know if it will thrive, but I do believe it will exist. It may just be fewer asses to fill those seats.

Sadly, in the modern digital age, literally every tactile thing is going the way of....
Signatures, handwritten letters, and endless paper ephemera have long been saved, cherished and collected from revered individuals of the past, as a tangible record of history and culture as well as their existence. What now? Will it get to the point where all that is left is to show someone a computer screen, and state "so and so once typed this into a keyboard"??

The future is depressing and bleak.

In regards to rare and vintage tickets i've noticed some high profile tickets in mid to low grade PSA selling for less in the past few years. For awhile there in 2013-2014 tickets seemed to get more attention. I havent heard much since.

No, not entirely true, we hold NY Rangers seasons and they send the hard tickets every year... You can also use the electronic version but you always get the hard tickets. Same with Mets and Yankees and Knicks, Nets, Giants and Jets...
