Abstract
An apparatus for the illuminated display of a printed article such as a sporting event or concert ticket includes a transparent ticket holder with a light source. The ticket holder has a first transparent layer of material with a peripheral edge. A second layer of material is bonded to the first transparent layer proximate to at least a portion of the peripheral edge to form a pocket. A slit provides repeatable access into the pocket. An illumination source receiver with a removable illumination source provides light with which to view the ticket in a darkened concert hall or arena. The ticket holder also has a suspension opening formed through at least one of the first or second layers of material allowing the ticket holder to be worn around a user's neck or wrist using a lanyard.
