In 1973, Tickner was in the lineup for a number of performances by Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders' band.[2][3]

Since leaving Journey, Tickner has maintained an active interest in music, as well as contacts with his former bandmates. He and Ross Valory created The Hive, a recording studio where he continued to write and compose music.
