Introduction

Hi,

my name is Jacek, I live near Kraków, Poland and I collect tickets. All kinds of tickets from the whole world. My collection is divided into the following categories:

- local (urban and suburban) transport
- bus tickets
- train tickets
- funiculars, elevators, lifts
- ships, ferries
- air transport
- sport
- recreation
- visiting
- cultural events
- religious ceremonies
- fairs
- market fees
- toilets
- parkings and highways

 

I started gathering used tickets over 20 years ago with bus and tram ones from my country. It soon started to grow rapidly with new countries and new kinds of tickets. My first swap was with the guy from Australia, the opposite part of the world...

The tickets are stored in binders. On the dedicated pages (created by my wife) I make incisions using tape knife and then put tickets to their places. It takes time but thanks to this procedure I'm able to arrange the page to each kind of tickets regardless of its size and shape. In my opinion this solution is much better then storing the tickets in stamp albums.

For sure you are curious about the size of my collection. I'm not going to tell you the exact number of tickets (anyway, it changes almost every day) but I can say that they consume about 100 binders of space. The binder color is not meaningless - the blue ones are for public transport tickets from Poland, red - for public transport from other countries, black for train tickets, orange for museums, buildings, caves, national parks etc., yellow for sport tickets, purple for parkings. There are a few colors more...

The aim of this blog is to present the new items or those ones I'm currently working with. I'd like to say "thank you" to every one who helped me or will help with completing missing series.

My main page on which I used to present my tickets in more ordered way is currently (for years...) under reconstruction and it still may take a lot of time until the new version starts. Meanwhile I encourage you to subscribe this blog and see what happens in the tickets world.

If you have any used or spare ticket and would be happy to help me with my hobby, please contact me via e-mail.
If you are also collector and would like to swap, also contact me, please.
