Antiques Road Show Tickets ?

[tamrock]

Well I put in for tickets for the Antiques Road Show on Aug. 13 in Salt Lake City and got selected for 2 tickets. I just checked eBay and see these tickets are selling for $175. to $300. in other cities this year. They said the tickets should arrive 3 weeks before the event. I guess if I can't make I'll call it winning of a $250. prize. I know my wife won't be interested in going and itll be an 8 hour drive for me, so I've got plenty of time to think on it. Maybe I'll go and see what I get out of just 1 ticket on eBay??

I wanted to go when they came here, but couldn't afford the tickets. I understand it's fun, especially if you have something cool and make TV. Maybe in my next life. I think you should go...

I would go too! It would be a great experience.

I never miss the show every Monday night at 8pm. I love learning about all the different collectibles

Years ago they announced they were coming to town so I applied for tickets as I had interesting items. I was never selected, but a co-worker was. He decided he did not want to go and so he put his tickets on E-bay. This violated Antique Roadshow policy and I alerted them, but to no avail. If someone is not going to go, then why bother applying and ruining the chances for the rest of us with interesting pieces of history ? Just my opinion, to each his own.

I guess he couldn't have offered them to you at face value first? He had to turn a profit on them and also not give you a chance to go? Yes, I believe I work with that same "co-worker"

I put in the last time the show was held in Denver and wasn't selected. The tickets are free Austin you enter online and and win them by a lottery. Utah is my area I travel for work and I've stayed out on Friday many time at the SLC motels by the airport coming back from Nevada, so maybe I'll just work it in to a biz trip.?. I won 2 tickets, so now I just need do something with the other ticket?. This thing wouldn't be something my wife would enjoy, as she's just not in to antiques and stuff like that. We just took a trip and I went to some of the antique shops around in Ocean beach California, as they had a few good sized antique malls, and she said, you just go ahead and I'll relax at the beach. I can't see her standing inline all day at an event like this.

Selling them would give a chance to let someone go who didn't get selected. When they were in Denver and I didn't win I could have gone with some of the tickets being offered on ebay if I wanted to pay the price. It's bummer when you don't win and really want to go. Dang! now I feel like I should invite you to go along. How would that make you feel?

I would consider it a very high honor, especially since we do not know each other.
It bothered me that my co-worker had never planned on going from the beginning , he had just hoped he could win some "Free" tickets and then profit off it by selling on E-Bay and Craigs List. He never offered to sell them to me. I had a set of 4 coin silver spoons found at my dad's place after he passed. These each had a monogram on the front top which showed the 4 spoons belonged together. On the lower back side was the hallmark "PR". I felt I could get some answers since most of the Antique Roadshow specialists are from the east coast area.

Good luck. I put in for tickets years ago for myself and my bro in law (unbeknownst to him at the time), he was selected, not me. Here is the piece he had appraised- http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/g...-vase-update-appraised-antiques-roadshow.html
