I'm heading for 49 and have been a fan since the age of 3. Tagged along with my big bro and saw A Hard Day's Night and HELP! on the big screen, every day for a week when they were new.
One of my earliest memories from then, is when I learned to use scissors - by cutting the faces of The Beatles from those over-sized tickets from the movie theatre.
Click for example of original theatre ticket.
How can you have been a fan since the age of 3?! XD not sure how you would have understood their music back then.

Not really, my first job as a teacher's aide I made $4,000 a year and I remember premium gas being .32 cents and regular was .28 cents You can trust your car to the man who wears the Star The big bright Texaco star!

I'm 55 and have been a Beatles fan in love with Paul since primary school. I was too young to go to any of their concerts, sadly. I do feel privileged to have grown up with their fab music.

I'm DEFINITELY not in this range but I wanted to just leave a post saying how much I enjoy reading all the stories from those of you who were there in the height of Beatlemania. I'm a second generation fan (my mother would qualify on this thread) but neither of my parents have any good memories of the Beatles. It's so nice to find people who do!
-
MECCA GIRL I'm sorry, " none of us parents have a good memory".... or something........?????????????????????? Well your parents didn't chase them, what can you say?? Not many did, which is something most people don't know. You see, it could and did start many fights, between the SURFER beach boys and the BEATLE fans in 1966-67 California. One guy got beat up for claming to be a Beatle Fan in my home town of Chula Vista. And I mean serious "beat up", he ended up in the hospital. We all took notice of that, who wanted to end up in the Hospital. For the rest of us, we just kept it down, under cover so to speak. We were very verble when requesting the release date of their first album or when concert tickets went on sale, but at school or on the party scene we were pretty quite. I never wore Beatles Buttons on my clothes, etc. or talked much about them until after their concerts in 1966. Then pretty much everyone was on board until it ended in 1967 when it was no longer fashionable due to the influx of "the summer of love." JUST HOW IT WAS...

Well, I'm a first generation fan...even if I WAS just a toddler! I'll be 50 at the end of August! Yikes! Where has the time gone???
