The entire E-ticket organization has been a top notch punch of people and they will make good. Let's just give them kind thoughts and patience. They deserve for all their years of happiness they've given us.
Originally Posted By JiminyCEsq I agree, they deserve time to wrap things up. However, my concern is that I have no way to reach them to let them know I have moved, and that mail is not the kind that the post office will forward. I did mail them at their former post office box but it was returned as undeliverable; I cannot come to the NFFC show and sale on the chance they might be there, and although I do not doubt they will mail their "last issue" to me, it won't reach me at the address they have on file. Basically, they have made themselves impossible to contact unless you know them personally, and I hope that if someone hears of some definite way for subscribers to contact them, that they will share that here. I would love to have the final issue to accompany my long time subscription which I treasure and I wish them well. Thank you!
Originally Posted By Hound I have loved "The E-Ticket" for many years and have the CDs and issues from about #15. It would be nice to receive one last issue. If Jack offers to return whatever subscription money I have left, I will tell him to keep it. He deserves it for the work he has put in over the years.
Originally Posted By Mickeyfan1 JiminyCEsq I would at least try and send a change of address to the address listed in past issues of e-ticket. The P.O. Box may still be open. It's worth a try. As one of the people who work on the NFFC Show and Sale I can tell you they will not be at the Show this Sunday. July '07 was the last NFFC Show Jack did.

Originally Posted By Mickeyfan1 I could have been mistaken on the Jan '07 Show, but I'm pretty sure Jack was not there. At any rate I can definetly tell you he won't have a table at the show on Sunday. His presence and his magazine will be greatly missed.
Originally Posted By Mickeyfan1 Yep, sorry about that TinkBestFriend. Just found all the contracts for the January Show and Jack was indeed there. He actually missed the July '07 show. Given who purchased the E-Ticket I doubt we will see a new form of the publication in the near future, if ever. Again, it's sad when such a fine publciation ceases. I wish Jack all the best as I know we all do. That last issue will be one to treasure.

Originally Posted By JiminyCEsq Just to add my perspective - what we do not know is, how much it cost to produce the magazine, in a period of declining readership in general for published material; how many subscribers were active, and whether the venture was profitable; how much work it took to produce a single issue; who bought it, and why, and what the legal ramifications might have been, including whether Jack was the sole owner; and, of course, whatever other factors might be at work in Jack's personal or professional life that had to take precedence. What we do know - Jack's brother and co producer of the publication passed, a horrible loss in any circumstance; it had to be an incredible task with help, and even more so individually; how wonderful the publication was for so many years, and what a treasure it is for those of us who were able to obtain, enjoy and retain all the issues that were published; and, most importantly, we are all put in positions where we have to make choices that we might prefer to avoid, but are not always given that option. If Jack is reading, or hears, I hope that the primary sentiment he takes from our exchange is that his work was greatly appreciated, will be missed, and that many of us will treasure our copies forever, and that we wish him well with the challenges of life and all good things in his future, with our deepest appreciation.

Originally Posted By NeverlandClub My guess is that the E-Ticket will not be at the NFFC Show on Sunday. Mickeyfan1 is one of the NFFC members who puts together the show and assigns the table locations. From Mickeyfan1's post on July 16th, there was no contact for the E-Ticket. I'm sure if he decides to do the show last minute, Mickeyfan1 will let us know.
Originally Posted By Mickeyfan1 Just learned that Jack Jensen and the E-Ticket will indeed be at the NFFC Show and Sale on Sunday July 20th. The sow opens to NFFC members at 10 a.m. and to the Public at 11 a.m. A $1 discount coupon can be downloaded at NFFC.org for those who ARE NOT members of the NFFC. Hope to see you at the Crowne Plaza on the corner of Harbor Blvd and Chapman Avenue on Sunday. Sorry for the late notice but I just found out this morning.
