The Beatles Kansas City Concert Ticket Stub
1964. Kansas City Athletic’s baseball team owner Charles O. Finley made good on his promise to bring The Beatles to KC’s Municipal Stadium with a $150,000 offer for the group to appear on a day originally slated to be a day off for the Fab four. This $8.50 ‘playing field’ ticket carries the notoriety of being the highest priced Beatles concert ticket for any of their North American appearances; an exception being the Paramount benefit three days later in which The Beatles donated their services with a special VIP seating for a $100 donation to United Cerebral Palsy. The reverse of the ticket shows Finley in a Beatles’ wig proclaiming “Today’s Beatles’ fans are tomorrow’s baseball fans.” The 2.25 x 4” stub has pin hole, a light lower right border stain.
