1977 Elvis Presley Last Live Performance Full Ticket, PSA Authentic.

"Take my hand/ Take my whole life too/ For I can't help falling in love with you/ For I can't help falling in love with you."

It was with these words that the greatest figure in American rock 'n' roll history walked off the stage in Indianapolis, Indiana and into immortality. Seven weeks later, Presley was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of his Memphis home, bringing to a close the career and life of one of the most significant cultural figures of the twentieth century. He was forty-two years old.

As the house lights came up and they made their way to the exits, none of the eighteen thousand fans who packed Market Square Arena on June 26, 1977 could have possibly known that they had seen and heard the very last of The King, and while rumors of Presley's health struggles had been tabloid fodder for years already, his voice sounded as strong and pure as ever as he belted out such classics as "Jailhouse Rock," "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog."

Today the collecting market is awash in tickets from the late 1977 concerts rendered tragically obsolete by Presley's death, but as we approach the Golden Anniversary of Elvis' last stand, only eight unused tickets from his Indianapolis farewell appear in a PSA slab. This is the first we have ever presented to the collecting community, certainly one of the most significant non-sports examples that exists. It presents with only light corner wear and edge toning to report. Encapsulated by PSA, Authentic.
