Indie concert ticket and pink backstage pass
Description
I lost my indie concert ticket and a pink backstage pass yesterday around 3pm near the Van Andel Arena entrance on Fulton Street in downtown Grand Rapids. The ticket is a standard white Ticketmaster slip, for a sold-out show downtown, with Section 208, Row C, Seat 12 printed in bold. It’s attached to a hot-pink lanyard that has a tiny star sticker on it, and the back of the ticket sleeve has my initials 'AP' written in pencil. The backstage pass is laminated, and the whole set has sentimental value—it’s tied to my sister's birthday gift, and I’m really hoping someone picked it up instead of leaving it behind.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
