Information on Passes
Backstage Passes were usually printed in small quantities on adhesive cloth with a removable paper backing. Generally, the local concert promoters printed the '70's style adhesive cloth concert passes with plain brown or white backings. CREW and TOUR STAFF Identification passes were laminated in plastic. Only a few thousand were printed for any specific Band's tour.
Once a tour was completed it was commonplace to destroy or otherwise dispose of any leftover passes.
In the early 70's,OTTO Printing & Entertainment Graphics, a Cincinnati printing company, began printing passes in full colour on custom manufactured, adhesive backed rayon acetate satin cloth.
Bands touring multiple cities and large venues had their backstage passes printed on large sheets, with layouts featuring multiple designs for designating tour personnel as well as different colour combinations to use for each of several venues. Fewer than a thousand are then die-cut into various shapes (Rectangles, squares, triangles, ovals and circles). Due to the complexities in producing backstage passes, only a handful of companies manufacture these highly desirable items, with Otto being the most popular.
