Each person is limited to 1 small to medium-sized item for appraisal. The tickets will be reserved on a first come first serve basis as there will be a limit of 50 total slots for this event. All ticket holders will be asked to arrive for their time slot at least 5 minutes in advance and to remember that patience is appreciated as individual sessions could go longer than normal and there may be a wait just like on the Antiques Roadshow. If a ticket holder fails to show at the appropriate time then they may lose their time slot with the appraiser. The cut-off time for registration will be Sunday, March 20, 2016, and/or once all the time slots are filled.
