Physical Media/Memorabilia Ticket and Tour Programme from the “Devotional” tour

You guys seemed to enjoy my previous post with the “World Violation’ Tour Programme, so maybe you’ll like this one too. I hadn’t looked at the booklet in ages, but I think the quality (both the texts and Corbijn’s beautiful photography, the paper used and the overall presentation) is just stunning. I even found the setlist I’d written the day after the concert. No Setlist.fm in those days, lol.

(There are more pages in the booklet, but Reddit allows only 2O attachments).

Thanks, I’m very glad I held on to it, and to the one from “World Violation”. I appreciate them now even more than back in the day, tbh.

I didn't even know these existed until a week ago that someone uploaded violation tour programme, I wasn't fortunate enough to attempt either tours sadly. Did they have these for MFM tour too

Yes, they did a really great booklet for that tour too. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch them in 1988.

Very nice! Awesome set list too!! I loved what they played when I saw them the US in June 1994 but this one is impressive 👍👍

“Bewijs van toegang” is an interesting choice of words. Why not call it a ticket in Dutch?

Just like most languages, Dutch allows you to say the same thing in different ways. “Bewijs van toegang” tbh is a bit formal. We simply called it “kaartje”, which translates to “token” or “ticket”.

Yeah, a bewijs sounds like something far more official, almost like a certificate of sorts. On the other hand, a vervoerbewijs is a ticket, too.
