Antiques Roadshow's 2008 Tour features a series of local events at which top appraisers offer the public free evaluations of antiques and collectibles-revealing the often surprising history and value of these items.

In each hour-long Roadshow episode, specialists from the country's leading auction houses — Bonhams and Butterfields, Christie's, Doyle New York, Skinner and Sotheby's — and independent dealers from across the nation offer free appraisals of antiques and collectibles.

Antiques Roadshow cameras capture tales of family heirlooms, yard sale bargains and long-lost items salvaged from attics and basements, while experts reveal the fascinating truths about these finds.

Admission to ANTIQUES ROADSHOW events is free, but tickets are required and must be obtained in advance.

The free ticket application process ended Sunday, April 20, 2008.

Online ticket applicants will be informed on or around May 9th as to whether they will or will not receive tickets.  People who mailed in applications will not receive advance notification if they have been selected. 

Complete ticketing rules are available at Antiques Roadshow Online pbs.org/antiques or by dialing toll-free 1-888-762-3749.  

Ticket holders are invited to bring two items for a free verbal evaluation by experts from the world's leading auction houses-including Bonhams & Butterfields, Christie's, Doyle New York, Freeman's, Skinner, Sotheby's, and Swann Galleries-and by leading independent appraisers and dealers. All ticket holders are guaranteed an appraisal.
