Used ticket for the Beatles performance at the Grafton Ballroom

The Beatles second appearance at the Grafton Ballroom, West Derby Road, Liverpool L6. They headed the five act bill,  the other acts were Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Billy Ellis Trio, Sonny Webb and the Cascades and the Johnny Hilton Showband.

One story from this concert was that 100 tickets were stolen before the event  with the thief unaware that the tickets were numbered on the back. The stolen tickets were declared invalid and anyone trying to gain access to the concert using the stolen tickets was turned away. The ticket on this page is numbered 430 and was obviously not one of the stolen ones.

The M.C. for the evening was Bob Wooler
