Last year’s Barrett-Jackson car auction brought in over $102 million in sales of these expensive cars, with $2.2 million in car sales donated to charities. In addition to a chance to bid on over 1,500 vehicles or thousands of pieces of automobilia, you can peruse the marketplace featuring over 200 vendors and interactive exhibits. Enjoy fine dining at one of the dozens of options at the event venue. It’s even exciting to just watch the people who circulate through this amazing car show.
The event alone attracts over 150,000 people each year. Therefore, you’ll want to make your plans and reservations well in advance. Start by identifying the number of days you plan to attend the auction and who will be attending with you. It’s important to review the auction catalog to decide which cars you’re interested in bidding on versus viewing. If you are planning to bid, confirm that you have the required forms and documents completed so that you can obtain a bidder’s paddle. Before you bid, do verify that the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and that all your questions have been asked and answered.
Tickets can go fast so purchase them in advance to receive discounted pricing. The prices may vary depending on the day and type of ticket. If you wish to enjoy this event as a VIP, there are numerous packages that include access to staging lanes, behind-the-scenes tours, and top-line food and beverages, as well as floor seating for the auction. Packages run from $1,299 per person for Silver VIP to $7,499 and up for the ultra-exclusive Craig Johnson Box, once only reserved for the top elite.
There are many hotels close to Westworld. However, if you truly want to enjoy this auction in style, consider booking a luxury home for your stay.
