Everyone who attends an Antiques Roadshow event will receive a free, verbal evaluation of their item by an expert. Guests can bring up to two items for appraisal.

Antiques Roadshow tickets are free, but you have to request them in advance. The 2023 Antiques Roadshow Sweepstakes opened Jan. 9 and runs through March 13. The ticket drawing will take place in April.

When entering the ticket sweepstakes, you’ll also have the chance to share photos and a brief story about an item you plan to bring. Producers will review these submissions and select 20 entrants in each city for special early bird tickets.

You can also score Antiques Roadshow tickets on social media. The show will give away up to 100 pairs of tickets for each 2023 tour stop on Instagram. To enter, ​​follow @RoadshowPBS and comment on the Antiques Roadshow Social Sweepstakes announcement post by tagging one friend and listing the location of the event you wanted to attend. The social media sweepstakes runs through Feb. 9.

Simply scoring tickets to an Antiques Roadshow tour stop isn’t enough to get featured on the show. Producers are looking for people with interesting items and good stories. Having a sky-high appraisal isn’t a requirement, though.

Recent episodes have featured an 1815 Regency carved chair estimated to bring $1,000 to $1,500 at auction and a 1975 Bahne skateboard worth $200 to $400. Still, having a piece that’s both one-of-a-kind and extremely valuable doesn’t hurt. In one recent episode, a 1911 Patek Philippe chronometer had an estimated auction value of up to $100,000. And a 2020 installment of the show highlighted a 1993 set of ‘Magic: The Gathering’ beta cards with an estimated value of $100,000.

In the latter case, the woman who brought in her husband’s collection of trading game cards was stunned when she learned of their value.

“They’re just cards to me,” she said.
