Admission to ANTIQUES ROADSHOW events is free, but tickets are required and must be obtained in advance. Complete ticketing rules will be available beginning Monday, January 21, 2008 on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Online at pbs.org/antiques or by dialing toll-free 1-888-762-3749. Ticket recipients will be selected at random from all eligible entries. 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.

In addition, ROADSHOW is looking within 50 miles of each tour destination for large pieces of furniture. Photos are now being accepted of antique furniture that local viewers would like to have appraised on the show. Complete rules for furniture submission will be available at pbs.org/antiques. If furniture is selected, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will call the owner no later than 30 days before the event to arrange for our specialized furniture mover to transport your furniture to and from the event. Personnel cannot appraise furniture in the owner’s absence absence, so owners will need to attend the event to receive verbal appraisal. If furniture is selected, owners will automatically receive a pair of tickets to the event.

But before hitting the road next summer, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW begins its twelfth broadcast season on Mondays at 8 PM on WTCI, with host Mark L. Walberg. The new lineup kicks off with three episodes from Baltimore, Maryland, where appraisers discovered the most valuable item of the entire 2007 summer tour—a collection of American Indian artifacts estimated to be worth $130,000 to $200,000. Visit pbs.org/antiques for a preview of the season premiere.
