If it hits that figure, it’ll have shot up in value by 300 times, as reported by What’s The Jam.

The pass was for the Fab Four’s show at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church youth club in Birkenhead, Merseyside, on Saturday 10 March 10 1962 – the second of two gigs they played there.

The Beatles headlined, with support from local act The Country Four with Brian Newman.

The slice of music history is being sold by Ewbank’s.

Also going under the hammer is a programme from a Jimi Hendrix concert at The Saville Theatre, London, in May 1967, for an estimate of £1,200.
