What is the address to the Pavilions....is it a outside mall? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Pavillions is located at the Indian Bend Road exit off of the 101 Fwy in Scottsdale. It's in the Pavillions shopping center. The cruise starts normally around 2pm-ish on every Saturday...but if you are in town during auction week...the cars are in place by 6:30am...and there are LOTS of cars there. A few years ago, they had over 1500 cars on the Saturday of Barrett Jackson

Here's the address and the directions:

Thanks guys.

I noticed that tickets for Barrett-Jackson are a lot cheaper for days earlier in the week. Is this simply because the big dollar cars aren't for auction until Sat/Sun? Or is it just because it's a weekday and fewer people are able to attend?

While I'm not bidding on any cars, I would like to see the top auction cars. I guess I'm just not sure what day the cars will arrive (they all need to be there by Tues, or not).

I'm definitely doing the Pavillions on Sat, and it looks like I'll be there nice and early! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif So, my auction attendance will need to be Tues-Fri or Sun.

Cars at all the AZ. auctions come an go throughout the auction week. Most are there early on but some don't arrive until later days. Once they are sold they can leave anytime. There will be transporters lined up to take cars away.

When I was spending the entire week there, the first thing I would do is walk the cars in the tents to see what was new. The positions of the cars change in the tents as they are run at auction and then return to the tents or placed on transports to head to there new homes. Many people sit just outside or inside the sales tent or sit in the seated audience of the sales tent. At R-S only the bidders and badged bidders guests are allowed in the auction tent.

MOST of the cars for B-J will be there early in the week, we usually go on one of the early days to avoid the crowds

On Saturday all the people that want to be seen and have no clue about cars are there (the "pretty" people and the ones that "have" to be at a happening), kind of a pain, but there is a lot of "professional" eye candy walking around with their "dates" (nudge nudge, if you catch my drift), so if you are into that Saturday is best https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Our house is located half way between B-J and Pavilions https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

here is an overhead of them both to get the "feel" of the location, A is Westworld /B-J Auction site, B = Pavilions car show and red dot on Shea & 101 / 90th street is Uncle Sams, one of the best low cost, casual food places in the area, real Phillie cheese steaks (get extra cheese & you really only need a half a sandwich unless you are sharing a whole one with two HUNGRY people), pizza, wings and after 9pm every night $2.99 pitchers (75¢ gasses) of COLD beer:

here is the Valley with the airport & C = R-S auction shown:

a hint for traffic

When you leave B-J go to the east and take Thompson Peak south to Cactus or Shea, avoid the 101 & Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd areas

they just had an article in the paper warning people of the traffic at Hayden Road/Frank LLoyd Wright Blvd/101 intersection, it will be gridlock ...
