Unused full tickets for either the dress rehearsal or performance are extremely rare. In March of 2000 I discovered three unused performance tickets, all in near mint condition. They were numbered sequentally - 637, 638 and 639 and included an original ticket holder with accompanying letter. In October of 2006, ticket #638 was sold by Heritage auctions for $11,352.50. In December of 2014, ticket #637 was sold by Heritage auctions for $9,375.00 - the lot included the original ticket, folder and "Enclosed are the tickets requested..." letter. |

The August 14, 1965 shows were the last of the performances by the Beatles in person on the Ed Sullivan show. The songs performed were I'm Down, Ticket To Ride, I Feel Fine, Yesterday, Act Naturally and Help. Both the dress rehearsal and the taping were performed before a capacity live audience of only 728 people. The show was not broadcast live, but transmitted a month later for the season premier of the Ed Sullivan Show on September 12th, 1965. Other acts performing were Cilla Black, Soupy Sales, Allen & Rossi and Fantasio the Magician. |
