A piece of blues-rock royalty: an original, unused concert ticket from January 27th, 1986, for STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN and DOUBLE TROUBLE at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA. This was no ordinary stop on the Soul to Soul tour—it was a legendary family affair, with THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS as the opening act, featuring Stevie’s older brother, JIMMIE VAUGHAN, on guitar. The ticket itself is a crisp time capsule, measuring 1 1/2" x 5 3/4" and preserved in mint, unused condition, meaning it was never torn or subjected to the wear of a concert venue.
What elevates this artifact from collectible to heirloom is the bold, blue ballpoint pen signature of Stevie Ray Vaughan himself, applied directly to the face of the ticket. His autograph remains sharp and fully legible, with no smudging or fading—a testament to careful storage over nearly four decades.
