I would recommend that the tickets be scanned and output to heavy paper - or mounted and reverse beveled. Then you can frame them any way you want to - and do not have to be as concerned with the method of attachment.
Most ticket printing technology (and any color on the tickets) is highly sensitive to heat and light is is extremely fugitive.
(Not just UV - but ALL light and especially heat.)

I looked into this for a client. Checked Pinterest where there were some good ideas. One suggestion I came up with is to elevate with foam core a few of the most significant tix; thereby de-empasizing least significant. Pictures and band paraphernalia can be added to focus attention and to highlight.
I would really recommend using Rob's method of scanning & printing them. They are the most deadly dangerous things I ever mount.
There is a huge possibility of them turning black or disappearing, and fairly quickly. Some are thermally printed but don't appear to be, and any heat at all will turn them black. They will almost certainly change shortly after the frame is hung.
I like to print copies then place the originals in an envelope inside the package. I put a label on the back explaining this.
If I MUST mount them despite all of my warnings, I encapsulate them in mylar.

I agree about the poor printing of the tix. Often thermal. These will erase in a short period of time. So yes, absolutely make a bold photocopy and frame those.
Mikki, it is essential to know more about the ticket stubs. How many? Are they all the same size, or different? Could you add any other items, such as photos, ad flyers, captions/owner's comments, etc.? How about some three-dimensional layering in order to emphasize a few that are most important to the owner?
Regardless of the layout and framing design, making high-quality digital reproductions is highly recommended, as suggested by others. That way, the originals can be kept in safe, dark storage, and there would be no need for preservation features in the display, saving time and money and allowing a lot more latitude in the appearance features.

Displaying the tickets in the shape of a fan, thus overlaying on the bottom, can look very effective and pleasing to the eye. Not as stark as placing them all in a row.
