Ticket formed in Auckland in 1970 when guitarist Eddie Hansen teamed with bassist Paul Woolright and drummer Ricky Ball.

Hansen cut his teeth in Christchurch blues-rockers The Revival. His older brother, Peter Hansen, was the bassist in ’60s garage rockers Chants R&B. Ball hailed from beatsters The Challenge, which scored a national hit in 1969 with “Honey Do” (NZ #2). Woolright came from soul covers band The Entry.

Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and The Electric Flag, they hired singer Trevor Tombleson, formerly of the Jamestown Union. Trevor’s band performed once on the NZ music television program C’Mon and served as the local opening act for Eric Burdon and the Animals.

On the brink of their first live dates, the new four-piece named itself Ticket. They gained instant notoriety when south island club promoter Trevor Spitz billed them with the tagline “HAIR HAS COME TO CHRISTCHURCH,” thus conflated the band with the controversial national debut of the hippie musical Hair. Their early live set consisted of lengthy jam numbers.
