Stubs from tickets admitting fans to one of the relatively few concerts the Beatles performed have long been hot items among collectors, but tickets to one of their concerts that were not used are exceedingly rare.  Rarest of all, perhaps, are tickets to the group's debut performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.  That's what Jon Lindsey ended up with after winning a pair of tickets to that performance an employee of the show donated to his school for a fund raising raffle.  Lindsey was unable to go to the taping of the legendary appearance.  His good luck and misfortune that year turned out to be wonderful for the George Jackson Academy after Lindsey elected to donate the originally donated tickets back to the school.
