Beatles stubs from 1965 are considerably harder to find than 1966, which are already scarce. You have one here that is in really nice condition, it does show some fading and discoloration, but very little creasing and only light handling wear. It is still firm and lays flat. Overall, still a very nice specimen. Buy with confidence as I only deal in vintage... authentic items. Shipping cost includes insurance.

Just after 9 p.m. on Aug. 15, 1965, the Beatles stood on a stage just off second base at Shea Stadium, and obliterated any sense of what the words "rock concert" meant. Here are some fun, mind-boggling, I-was-born-in-the-90s-and-will-never-truly-know-what-Beatlemania-was-like facts about the show:
With 55, 000 fans in attendance and more than $300, 000 made, it was said to be the largest concert ever at the time. It seems laughable now, but there were doubts that the Beatles would be able to fill the Mets' ballpark -- "We don't play to empty seats, " the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, had said when the show was first booked, according to the NY Daily News. But that was … not a problem. The Mets were in the middle of a West Coast road trip that ran from Aug. 10-18, and Shea Stadium was filled to the brim. People were crawling over the outfield fence to get in.The Beatles Setlist at Shea Stadium, New York, NY, USA
