More from year 1965

The group flew from Madrid to Barcelona in the afternoon to play the Plaza de Toros Monumental at 10.30 that evening.

From the “New World Tour” tour book, 1993:

I’ll never forget in Barcelona with The Beatles when we played the Plaza De Toros and all our audience was outside — they couldn’t afford to get in and the Lord Mayor, the councillors and every bullfighter in town, the nobs, were all in there. We only met our audience in the tunnel the bus went through to get into the gig.

To date this is the most complete example of this extremely rare ticket stub have we have seen. Of the few that have ever turned up they normally have one or both edges torn off.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
