MANDATORY BYLINE BY GOTTA HAVE ROCK AND ROLL AUCTIONS / CATERS – (PICTURED: A setlist from the Beatles 1963 Cheltenham Odeon Show, written by Paul McCartney and signed by Lennon and Ringo Starr, has an estimate of USD120,000. The piece was obtained by a 17-year-old student who after attending the concert, went to the Savoy Hotel the next day and bumped into the stars.Without an autograph book to hand Ringo pulled out a scrap of paper from his pocket, which was the set-list from their previous nights show.) 

From auctioneer Ed Kosinski, from Gotta Have Rock and Roll:

The set list is fascinating, it has a really great story, it was obtained by a 17-year-old student after going to a Beatles’ concert. The next day she went to the hotel they were staying at and waited outside only to meet John and Ringo. She said that she didn’t have an autograph book, and when she asked for autograph Ringo looked into his jacket found something. That something from his pocket was this set-list, all handwritten McCartney and had who would introduce the next songs written down. What’s really interesting this is likely the setlist from this show give to her the day after that show. One side is all handwritten and the others side is signed by Ringo and John.

Recently a written set list, in Paul's hand, was auctioned.

Apparently a fan saw John and Ringo leaving their hotel the next morning and asked for autographs. She didn't have anything to write on, so Ringo produced the set list and both John and Ringo signed the reverse. The set list reads:

STANDING THERE // right into // FROM ME TO YOU // PAUL ANNOUNCE // ALL MY LOVING // GEORGE ANNOUNCE //

HOLD ON ME //JOHN ANNOUNCE // DON'T BOTHER ME // PAUL ANNOUNCE // WANNA BE YOUR MAN

Apparently they performed Roll Over Beethoven in place of Don't Bother Me, and Boys instead of Wanna Be Your Man. Beatles bible has them continuing with 'Till There Was You, She Loves You, Money, and ending with Twist and Shout.
