Hi
I think it sold around 18,000.But when retitled Tick To Ride. Went on to sell around 250,000.
One of those 18,000 is framed and hanging on my wall!
Mine’s close to mint, but not quite. The guy I bought it from years ago (for $2) put a small sticker in the upper right corner (not over the A&M logo) that says ‘1969-Page 182. (20-35)’. He told me (this was around 2002) that was the book value but he was not selling his records for book. I didn’t remove it because I didn’t want to risk tearing the cover.I’ve got a mint copy too that I was just looking at yesterday!
If "Ticket To Ride" actually exceeded 500,000 units in the United States it should have been certified Gold if I'm not mistaken? Isn't Platinum awarded for one million in sales for an LP. I think the requirements (singles and albums) were changed in the mid seventies so I may be off base with the RIAA rules but I've never seen a Gold (US) award associated with "Ticket To Ride".

How do you guys have them in the frames? Can you see the vinyl disc itself or is it just the artwork? I’ve got the vinyl disc in the jacket in the frame so I can’t see the vinyl disc....and I have one bought originally in 1970. So, the official count here is: three!
Mine tooMine is not framed. It’s on my LP shelf, right next to TICKET TO RIDE.

Mine three!Mine too
To expand on the gold-records thing a bit -- Gold and platinum awards aren't made automatically, the record company has to apply for them. There are hundreds of "old" albums that reached the milestone in sales to qualify for a gold or platinum record award, but if the record company doesn't submit the required paperwork, the award isn't given out.If "Ticket To Ride" actually exceeded 500,000 units in the United States it should have been certified Gold if I'm not mistaken?
