    ATLANTA POP FESTIVAL
    FULL UNUSED TICKET
    for Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
    July 3rd, 4th and 5th,
    1970
    .
    It is hard just to find just a plain stub from this classic festival, finding a full unused ticket with all of the attached stubs for Friday, Saturday and Sunday is
    EXTREMELY RARE
    .
    It is in nice condition but lightly wavy with some impressions, some discoloration, a little stain and it was folded down the middle perforation.  It is a little soft at the perforations, but mostly the middle one.  No pin holes, tape or anything else.  This is a very long ticket which helps make it super hard to find in one in great shape.  That's when you can even manage to find one.
    This is a super find!!

    Atlanta Pop Festival - 1970
    The second Atlanta International Pop Festival was a music festival held in a soybean field adjacent to the Middle Georgia Raceway in Byron, Georgia. Originally scheduled for July 3 to July 5, 1970, it did not finish until near dawn on the 6th.  It was the only successor to the first Atlanta International Pop Festival 1969.  The event was promoted by Alex Cooley, who had been one of the organizers the previous year, as well as the Texas International Pop Festival.
    Like the Woodstock festival the previous summer, the event was promoted as "three days of peace, love and music."  Tickets for the festival were priced at . Also like Woodstock, it became an "open event" when the promoter threw open the gates after crowds outside began to tear down the plywood fence that had been erected around the site.  An estimated 350,000 to 500,000, and possibly 600,000 people attended.
    Performers included The Allman Brothers Band, Jethro Tull (scheduled but did not perform, citing laryngitis), Terry Reid, B.B. King, Procol Harum, Jimi Hendrix, Chambers Brothers, Poco, Grand Funk Railroad, Ravi Shankar, Ten Years After, Johnny Winter, John Sebastian, Mountain, and Spirit. Jimi Hendrix played to the largest American audience of his career, presenting his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner for the fireworks around midnight on the Fourth of July.

    AUTHENTIC GLOBE TICKETS
    The
    authentic Globe Ticket Company card stock
    has their famous watermark built right into the card stock which alone authenticates the ticket (and made them largely impossible to reproduce).  Especially now, as the machines that were around back then to produce the card stock are long gone.  If you want more information on the Globe printing process from back then, go to Beatles website
