Travis Barker's boarding pass from his recent trip to Australia is now up for sale for $8,000.
This unique item, along with other memorabilia from Barker's 2023 World Tour and the recording of Blink-182's latest album, is available for purchase on the Trophy website. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization Lost But Not Forgotten.
For fans of Travis Barker, the boarding pass is more than just a travel document—it symbolizes a significant personal victory for the rocker. In 2008, Barker survived a tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of four people. The trauma from the accident kept him from flying for 13 years. However, Barker has since conquered his fear of flying. The boarding pass from his recent flight in Australia serves as a testament to this triumph.

Barker marked the document with a cross and a handwritten note in all caps: "I know I got angels watching over me." The pass is dated February 7, with the seat number 7—both seen as significant "angel numbers." The boarding pass was for a February 2024 Qantas Airlines flight from Sydney to Perth. According to the product description, it is "a true one-of-a-kind item for the ultimate Travis Barker collector."

The description emphasizes the rarity of the commercial boarding pass, not only as a piece of music memorabilia but as a personal artifact from Barker's life, complete with his handwritten note and drawing. Barker traveled to Australia with his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, and their family for Blink-182's first tour in the country in a decade. The band's last Australian tour was in 2013, which Barker missed due to his fear of flying, rooted in the 2008 crash. Travis has credited the support and love from Kourtney Kardashian for helping him overcome his fear. In an interview with the LA Times, he said, "The power of love really helped me. Kourt made it so I fly, my kids fly now. She healed us."
He acknowledged the immense stress and anxiety flying causes him but emphasized his determination not to let past traumas control his future. Travis shares two children, Alabama (18) and Landon (20), with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and is also a stepfather to Shanna's daughter, Atiana de la Hoya (25). He welcomed his son Rocky with Kourtney Kardashian, further strengthening his resolve to conquer his fears. In August 2021, Barker successfully flew for the first time in 13 years, traveling to Cabo San Lucas with Kourtney. This milestone marked the beginning of his journey to overcome his phobia.
