2026 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction

Barrett-Jackson’s nine-day Scottsdale Auction is an automotive lifestyle event at WestWorld of Scottsdale featuring thousands of collector vehicles, a large exhibitor marketplace, sponsor displays, performance track experiences, and live broadcast and livestream coverage.

Official pages list the main auction dates as January 17–25, 2026, while the Tickets header shows January 18–26, 2026. There is also a pre-auction Rock The Block concert on January 16, 2026; verify exact sale days and docket items on Barrett-Jackson’s site or the WestWorld calendar before traveling.

This is the marquee collector-car auction in the U.S. calendar, where large consignments cross the block alongside manufacturer and aftermarket displays, rides, and live production.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Massive variety of collector cars and specialty lots, including no-reserve sales in many consignments.
• Live auction atmosphere with professional commentary and a produced livestream for remote viewers.
• On-site experiences beyond the block: exhibitor marketplace, performance riding areas, and manufacturer/sponsor activations.

Best way to experience it:

Buy tickets or bidder credentials through the official Barrett-Jackson site, plan specific auction days from the published docket, and use the Barrett-Jackson Live app to follow lots and schedules. Arrive early for popular sale days, use designated rideshare/drop-off or venue parking guidance, and pick a viewing area near the stage for the best live-auction feel.

Good to know:

• Check Barrett-Jackson’s ticket and docket pages for the slight date discrepancy (Jan 17–25 vs Jan 18–26) and for the final lot schedule.
• Organizer contact, ticketing, VIP packages and bidder registration are handled through the official site; WestWorld publishes venue-specific parking and access details.

• Great if you want to see or bid on a wide range of collector cars.
• Great if you enjoy automotive shows with marketplace stalls and manufacturer displays.
• Great if you like live auction energy combined with produced TV/livestream coverage.
• Maybe skip if you prefer a small, quiet car meet without large crowds or commercial activations.
