Description

Sought-after unused 5 x 2 concert ticket for the Beatles show at Gator Bowl Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, on September 11, 1964, with face value of $5.00, for "West Stand: Aisle 8, Row 42, Seat 3." The pink-colored ticket features a classic portrait of the Beatles in the background, with the 'Big Ape' logo of local radio station WAPE on the left side. In very fine condition. Encapsulated by PSA as "Full, Authentic."

This concert is especially notable as the audience was originally to have been racially segregated, but the Beatles refused to perform until they received an assurance from the promoter that the audience would be mixed. Commenting on the situation, John Lennon said: 'We never play to segregated audiences and we aren’t going to start now. I’d sooner lose our appearance money.'
