Stick on passes were supplied by Queen’s tour manager for use by non touring staff for individual shows. The passes would be the same or similar to the image and graphics used on laminated staff passes and distributed to people such as local stage crew, piano tuner, caterers, security, concessions, building staff and guests -and would not have any stage or dressing room access. They were often different colours, numbered, stamped or written on to avoid problems when doing multiple shows in one city or area, and any other breach of access.

However, sometimes, particularly in America the local promoters would produce their own stick on and occasional laminated passes. These would be used for the local people as already described.

Queen’s own official Tour Passes would always overrule promoters passes, and laminates were ‘top of the tree’.
