Presented is a collection of full tickets (each measuring 2 x 5 inches) to the historic Woodstock Music and Art Fair concert held at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, approximately 40 miles southwest of Woodstock, New York. Each ticket has been graded MINT 9 by PSA. During the three day period from August 15-17, 1969 over 400,000 concertgoers attended the legendary event. The offered collection consists of four full tickets from the first two days of the planned three day event (which actually ended on the morning of Monday August 18th, highlighted by Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner on guitar).
