E-Ticket Magazine

[yensidretlaw]

Anyone know where to find copies of the E-Ticket Magazine & CD's? I have a few but never expected that my forgetfulness would keep me from completing my collection. I found the E-Magazine late and started to order some of the issues and just never got around to ordering the CD's and the rest of the issues available. They now have shutdown the website and are no longer available. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Gee, I didn't know they shut down the web site, I've been a supporter and subscriber almost from the beginning. Was #41 the last issue?

I really hate to suggest that you look on eBay, but thats the only site I can think of... Iif you could attend the NFFC Convention in July, I'm sure you'd get some good leads and maybe even get to meet and talk with Jack himself.

A great magazine, but a very narrow appeal. But it was always appealing to me...

Have you tried the info on the order page in the magazine itself?
Fax 818-368-8701

I've been wondering about the magazine recently, seeing as how the last one I received was #47 Summer 2007.

Edited to add:
I did a little searching and found this page:

Thanks to Steve Doherty for having forwarded us the following:

[The “E” Ticket is in negotiations for sale. I am not at liberty to say who the buyer is. They do not intend to continue publishing, but back issues will be available on some level.

We are working on issue 46 at this time, and this will be our last. We are, admittedly, way behind schedule, but the issue should be a good one. We are still selling back issues. With the mailing of 46, we will outline to subscribers options for their remaining subscription money. A mail-back signature card will be included. Refunds will be one option. A second option, and one I hope folks take advantage of, is to accept the new “Back Issue CD-3” against subscription money. This CD, covering issues 17 through 25, is now in development and will be completed about the time issue 46 comes out. Normally, our back issue CDs are $39. As a special to subscribers, the cost will be $29 (coincidentally what a subscription costs). If we owe the reader $29, it will be an even exchange. If we owe 3 issues of the 4 issue subscription, the subscriber can send a check for $7.25 to receive the CD. This math can be projected for other scenarios.

Thanks for your kind words about the magazine and for your long time support for our efforts. Feel free to share this information where you deem it appropriate. Our web site is hopelessly out of date and the person who used to maintain it is no longer on board.

Well, I tried the fax number of 661-296-9829 and it now belongs to a couple in Santa Clarita CA. My only hope now is to try and send a letter to the PO Box Address and see what happens.

In the meantime if anyone finds out anything, I would appreciate a post to let me know because I am very interested in the CD's and back issues.

Thanks

My name is Royce Mathew and I have posted on my website an important update about The E-Ticket & Jack Janzen. I have included a photo copy of one of Jack's personal emails to me. I welcome all communication with everyone, including artists and those who value the creative works of Marc Davis, Walt Disney, X. Atencio, Claude Coats, and all artists, as well as the wonderful legacy of the Janzen family. I will answer all emails. Here is an excerpt from my website. disneylawsuit.com


As documented, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio together with the Walt Disney Company had submitted the Janzen’s “E-Ticket issue 32” as evidence, after they had concocted facts and lies using the same E-Ticket issue 32, and making the Janzens out to be ignorant liars. Therefore, in 2007, I had pleaded with Jack Janzen to uphold righteousness. However Mr. Janzen had ceased responding to my correspondence and curiously his beloved “The-E-Ticket.com” website which sold back issues and subscriptions of his highly praised “The E-Ticket” publication had suddenly stopped being updated. In late 2007, on my website, (see disneylawsuit.com) I had posted one of Jack Janzen’s email in which he confirmed that he had no involvement with Jason Surrell’s Pirates of the Caribbean book. However, soon after, in early 2008, without notice, Janzen’s official “The E-Ticket” website was abruptly shut down. On June 14, 2008, Mr. Janzen had replied to an inquiry about the status of his website, writing that the host of his “E-Ticket” website had “dumped the contents”, and that “it is not immediately retrievable”, and that he is the process of selling his “The E-Ticket” publication, and that there is “no intention” to continue publishing it. With his candid response, now raises additional issues such as: With the announcement of the dumping of the computer files of “The E-Ticket” website, are all of the Janzen’s original archives of interviews and materials safe and protected? Does Jack Janzen still have records of my correspondence with him? And, just how many “new owners” will E-Ticket pass through and what will ultimately happen with the purity and protection of Janzen’s E-Ticket celebrated legacy of archived facts, interviews and documentation which include Marc Davis’ candid statements that Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean has no story, and him explaining his “ghost effect haunting gag” once “new owners” are in possession of it?

As with many, I have greatly respected the Janzen’s integrity and their legacy. However, due to the corrupt actions of Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, along with certain people at the Walt Disney Company such as Jason Surrell (signed off by Marty Sklar), the Janzen’s ethics and honor are now also in jeopardy. Clearly, Jack Janzen has the power to make a difference and certainly the ramifications of Janzen’s plan in his handling of this serious matter will have great effects. To either uphold righteousness, or, to do nothing, remain silent, sell off “E-Ticket” and look the other way.

Hi..

the last time I corresponded directly with Jack was almost exactly two years ago.. August, 2006.. concerning the lateness of issue #44..

he was also at last month's NFFC show in Anaheim, with a booth, selling his magazines.. I didn't go but my Brother did and told me there was NO evidence that the magazine was going to cease publication or that anything untowards was going on.. Jack was selling back issues as usual..

the shut-down and discontinuance of his wonderful magazine really saddens me.. the machinations of why this is happening is mysterious.. even with the above explanation.. am I reading your posting correctly and Disney is behind this shutdown?..

I have two or three issues remaining on my subscription (I've subscribed for twenty years, since issue #1, although I sold some of my very early issues for insane money on eBay.. I'm going to try to hang onto the rest, especially the ONE i still have that both Brothers autographed for me at an NFFC show a few years ago, before Leon passed away).. and have the first CD, which duplicates all the ones I sold as .pdf files anyway, so I still have their content, if not the real things.. I think I have 90% of a complete run up to the latest issue #45..) ..

if i had only known back in 1988 what kind of money the early issues would bring two decades later, I would have bought two or three subscriptions.. but like so many other things.. who knew?.. eBay didn't even exist until ten years after the magazine started publication..

Before that new bare-bones Web site went up, while the "pretty" one was still there, they were using a photo i shot on it - Jack and Leon autographing a couple issues for me, it was on the Web site's "what's new" page..

if you go to archive.org and use their "wayback machine" and punch in the magazine's URL, you can find archived versions of their site going back to 1997.. some of the graphics are missing here and there.. some might take a while to load..

Just got the final issue, #46. Did anyone else get it? And the website is back up.

 

[hrlaser]

I received issue #46 in the mail two days ago.. actually, two copies.. I asked Jack to send me an extra one, since I was paid up through #47, rather than a refund or credit against the CD..

The end of an era.. getting The "E" Ticket in the mail four times a year has been a part of my life for over 20 years.. I'll really miss it.. :-( .. I wish I had bought two or three subscriptions, considering how much the very early issues are worth now.. who knew?..
