What you need to know about auction

PHOENIX – Car enthusiasts will have a chance to bid on millions of dollars worth of collectible cars and memorabilia at the 2025 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction.

The popular annual event at WestWorld of Scottsdale is more than just a car sale. Barrett-Jackson calls the spectacle “the ultimate automotive lifestyle experience.”

“Guests who join us in person find themselves in an exciting environment filled with engaging exhibits, interactive seminars, exceptional dining options, live music and, of course, the world’s most sought-after collector cars,” Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of the auction house, said in a press release.

The auction, which will be streamed live, starts on Saturday and runs for nine days (January 18-26). Full event and day pass can be purchased online.

But first, the second annual “Rock The Block” pre-auction concert featuring headliner Sammy Hagar kicks off the festivities Friday night. Concert tickets sold separately.
