Offered is a FULL TICKET for Elvis Presley's concert on March 29, 1957, at St. Louis' Kiel Auditorium. Full, unused tickets from Elvis' 1950's concerts are exceedingly rare--his rocket-like ascension to stardom in 1956 left few, if any in most cases, of his concert tickets "unused". Especially by 1957, the shows were packed wherever he played. Local news reports prior to the concert in St. Louis on March 29, 1957, reported "Elvis' press agents have warned that they have arranged for a guard of 20 policemen to accompany him about during his stay to keep him alive and whole for his performance." The ticket measures 3 7/8 x 1 5/8 inches and presents with some tape stains at both ends, with some minor paper loss on the left. Technically Excellent condition, but it presents much better.
