I don't see anything wrong with the seller, but i don't know how anyone could prove that this was Chester Bennington's personal pass. Maybe it's a good investment at less than $250 but i personally don't see a whole lot of value in a backstage pass.

so the front and back are mirror image interesting.

the first thing i can tell that it was issued in the middle of the tour .so it was either a replacement one or it was given to a family member or friend as the tour started in july.so the date is wierd.it could be a single day issue only laminate, 

without seeing the actualy laminate chart that says what every laminate does theres no way to know.

as i said it not uncoomom to have multiple lamintes made for the band members  especialy now in the 2017s with the hard plastic ones as there printed before the toure in bulk ,this one was printed on tour by the tm.

my guess its real. weather he used it or gave it away to a friend u will never know.

ps .alot of tms would sell old tour stock and companies would make lams up after the tour or even years later as there just buying the blank inserts.

ive been offer money by them for years.

hope that helps some.

the fact that his name isnt on doesnt bother me. im a little concernd that they didnt use a standard head shot , alot of musicians use there dog or family members as there picture on there lam as it reminds them of home and

knowbody will bother them .they all know who they are.

also missing is all acces ,wich doesnt make sense

i own personal lams from musicans that are not for sale all from work,they just would wind up after the tour we  would clean out the road cases and i would take the crap home. 

yes my spelling and grammer suxs but hey we didnt need it in the music bussinees.

no problem. if i find it ill post a back stage chart so u can see what im talking about

theres usualy 3 or more lamites per tour

allaces

vip 

guest

those are the basic 3 that are laminates.all will get u to a differnt area backstage.

thats why u need the chart also says what color sticky pass there using that nite and where it gets u also.

its a real bussiness and there are rules also becareful becuase people laminate stickes and try to pass them of as real
