If you would like to receive e-mail alerts about future ANTIQUES ROADSHOW events, subscribe to our free e-newsletter FANFARE.

Why haven't you visited my town yet?

We are always looking for new venues and try to visit as many new locations as possible each year. Among other considerations, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW requires a minimum of 80,000 square feet of space, and many towns are unable to accommodate our event.

Are tickets needed to attend ANTIQUES ROADSHOW?

You must have a ticket to attend an ANTIQUES ROADSHOW event. The 2013 ticket application deadline has passed. Tickets will not be available at the door.

How and when can I get tickets to an event?

The 2013 ticket application deadline has passed. Ticket recipients are selected from all eligible applicants by random drawing. Tickets will not be available at the door.

How do you decide who gets tickets?

Ticket recipients are selected from all eligible applicants by random drawing. Each applicant has an equal chance of being selected. There is no special benefit to applying early.

How many times can I apply for tickets?

Only one application per household, either postcard or online will be accepted. You may only apply to one event. Extra submissions will be discarded.

How many tickets can I get?

If you are selected to receive tickets, you will receive two tickets. There is a two ticket limit per household. At the event, each person may only use one ticket.

Why is the number of tickets limited?

Capacity at our events is limited. In the interest of fairness we want to make tickets available to the largest number of households who wish to attend ROADSHOW events.

Is there a cost or service charge for the tickets?

There is no cost or service charge for ANTIQUES ROADSHOW tickets. ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will mail tickets to those selected, free of charge.

Will you confirm that you received my ticket application?

If you apply for tickets online, we will send you an e-mail confirming your application. If you apply for tickets via postcard, we cannot confirm receipt of your application.

When does the ticket selection take place?

Ticket recipients will be selected from eligible applicants after April 8, 2013.

Will you contact me to tell me if I was or was not selected for tickets?

If you have applied online, you can use your email address to check your ticket status using the online Ticket Checker.

This will be the only way to find out if you were selected to receive tickets. We will not send email notifications.

We will e-mail all online ticket applicants a reminder about the online Ticket Checker in early-May.

If you applied for tickets by postcard and are chosen to receive tickets, you will not receive a confirmation prior to receiving the tickets.

If I am selected to receive tickets, when will I receive them?

If you are selected to receive tickets, they will be mailed to you approximately three weeks before the event date.

Will the ticket envelope be from ANTIQUES ROADSHOW?

If you are selected for tickets, they will arrive in a plain white envelope to ensure security. Be careful not to throw them away.

Will tickets be available at the event?

No, tickets will not be available on the day of the event. If you do not have a ticket, you cannot be admitted to the event.

I was selected to receive tickets, but I haven't received them. What should I do?

If you were selected, and your tickets have not arrived within one week of the event, please contact WGBH Member & Development Services at feedback@wgbh.org or 617-300-5400 (M-F, 9am - 5pm) for further instructions.

The tickets are free, so why did I see some for sale?

We offer all of our tickets to the public free of charge. We provide a limited number of tickets to the local public television stations, which they may use for fundraising purposes. Any other form of sale or resale of tickets offered through the ticket application process is prohibited by ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.

My Word Spring 2013

This has been a very strange few months with my experiences in Paris, the Sothebys Pre-colmbian sale, and the Neret-Minet Hopi sale. I have commented on much of this in this issue. This past week I also visited the Indiana University Art Museum where I was given a fair opportunity to express my concerns to the museum director and representatives of the IU Foundation and the Provost's Office. I have given my word that before commenting further I would give Dr. Gealt the opportunity to review my comments and respond. Hopefully this can be done in the next issue of the Newsletter. At this point I think it is important to note that the meeting was productive and there was a good exchange of ideas. It is my opinion at this point that Indiana University does want to protect the Wilegus collection certainly because it is the right thing to do but also because they understand the international attention a collection of this quality can bring. The IU leadership seems by their projected plans to welcome this opportunity to increase the visibility of both the museum  and the university. JB
