Arizona Auction Week 2027: Every Confirmed Sale, Dates, Venues and Fees

Every January, the collector car world moves to the Valley of the Sun for a week of auctions. In 2027 the anchor is Barrett-Jackson, which runs nine days at WestWorld of Scottsdale, from Saturday 23 to Sunday 31 January. RM Sotheby’s sells at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January.

Those are the only two January auctions in Scottsdale or Phoenix with 2027 dates on their own websites as of 8 November 2026. Several houses that have sold in Arizona in past Januarys have not posted a 2027 sale. This guide lists what each house has published, and what it has not, so you can plan around facts rather than last year’s calendar.

The week, day by day

Every date below comes from the organizer’s own page. Times are Arizona time, which does not change for daylight saving.

• Friday 22 January: Barrett-Jackson Opening Night Gala, 7pm to 10pm, by invitation only, in the auction arena.
• Saturday 23 January: Barrett-Jackson opens. Gates at 8am, cars start crossing the block. It is Family Day. The Arizona Concours Saturday Seminar Series is at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library Auditorium, schedule to be announced.
• Sunday 24 January: Arizona Concours d’Elegance at the Scottsdale Civic Center, celebrating 80 years of Ferrari. Barrett-Jackson day two.
• Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 January: Barrett-Jackson, gates at 8am daily.
• Thursday 28 January: RM Sotheby’s Arizona Auction, day one, with The Boeckmann Collection. Barrett-Jackson continues.
• Friday 29 January: RM Sotheby’s Arizona Auction, day two. Barrett-Jackson continues.
• Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January: Barrett-Jackson’s second weekend and final two days.
• Thursday 4 February: RM Sotheby’s online sale, The Boeckmann Collection | Online, closes.

The overlap matters if you want to see both houses. Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January are the only days when Barrett-Jackson and RM Sotheby’s are both selling.

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

Barrett-Jackson holds its flagship sale at WestWorld of Scottsdale, 16601 North Pima Road. For 2027 it runs nine days for the first time, from Saturday 23 to Sunday 31 January. Barrett-Jackson says more than 2,000 collector vehicles will be on display. Gates open at 8am and stay open until the auction closes each day.

Can the public attend? Yes. General admission is sold online through AXS and on site at the AXS box office. Barrett-Jackson’s tickets page says adult tickets start at $29.12. A ticket does not guarantee a seat in the arena, and floor and skybox seats are for bidders and consignors. Barrett-Jackson notes that spectators come and go all day, so arena seats open up.

Rules. Barrett-Jackson is cashless. It has a clear bag policy: clutches up to 6.5 by 4.5 inches, or clear bags up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches. Non-clear backpacks and diaper bags are not allowed.

Parking. Public parking is free. Follow the signs, and shuttles run to the main gate. Valet costs extra. For rideshare, use the lot west of Thompson Peak Parkway on McDowell Mountain Ranch Road.

Bidding. Registration packages for Scottsdale 2027 are $100 for an absentee bidder, $400 for Select and $550 for Premium. The Select and Premium prices are early registration rates that end on 8 December 2026. Barrett-Jackson adds an on-site buyer’s premium of 10% to the hammer price, plus any fees and taxes.

Catalog and preview. Barrett-Jackson says more than 2,000 vehicles are on display across the nine days. For gate times by day, the thrill rides and the full schedule, see the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2027 event page.

RM Sotheby’s, The Arizona Auction

RM Sotheby’s sells on Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January 2027 at the Arizona Biltmore, 2400 East Missouri Avenue, Phoenix. RM says 2027 is its 29th consecutive year at the Biltmore. It calls the sale the premier auction of Arizona Car Week and the season opener.

The Boeckmann Collection. On 28 January, RM offers the collection of Beau Boeckmann, of Galpin Auto Sports. RM lists 59 vehicles assembled over 24 years: custom creations, coachbuilt one-offs, American cars and modern collector cars, from makes including Aston Martin and Porsche. A second part of the collection sells online, with bidding closing on 4 February 2027.

Can the public attend? Not published for 2027. RM’s auction page for Arizona 2027 gives the venue, the dates and the bidder terms, but no admission policy, preview hours or catalog price yet. Check the page before you go. Consignments are still open, so the lot list will grow.

Bidding. RM’s Conditions of Business allow a bidder registration fee of up to $300 for its Arizona auctions. The terms phrase this as auctions held in Scottsdale, Arizona, though the Biltmore is in Phoenix. Payment is in U.S. dollars, by cash or certified funds unless you arrange otherwise in advance. For purchases under $5,000, RM charges the card it holds on file.

Buyer’s premium. RM’s U.S. terms set the premium on a motor car at 12% of the hammer price up to $250,000. Above $250,000, it is 12% on the first $250,000 and 10% on the rest. Non-car lots, such as memorabilia, motorcycles, parts and engines, carry 20%.

Here is what that means in practice. A car hammered at $100,000 costs $112,000 before tax and fees. A car hammered at $1,000,000 carries $30,000 on the first $250,000 and $75,000 on the remaining $750,000, so $1,105,000 in all.

Houses with no 2027 Arizona sale posted

These houses were checked on their own websites on 8 November 2026. None listed a January 2027 sale in Scottsdale or Phoenix. That can change at any time.

• Bonhams. The Bonhams Cars calendar lists December 2026 online sales, La Vente de Paris on 5 February 2027 and the Goodwood Members’ Meeting on 10 and 11 April 2027. No Scottsdale sale. Its most recent Scottsdale catalog is dated 23 January 2026.
• Gooding Christie’s. Its upcoming auctions are Geneva on 8 November 2026, Retromobile New York on 20 and 21 November 2026, Retromobile Paris on 4 February 2027 and Amelia Island on 4 and 5 March 2027. No Arizona sale.
• Broad Arrow. Its events page lists The Paris Auction on 3 February 2027 and The Amelia Concours Auction on 5 and 6 March 2027. No Arizona sale.
• Silver Auctions. Its own events page lists only its 2026 Idaho sales. A third-party calendar shows an Arizona sale on 29 and 30 January 2027, but Silver had not posted it.
• Worldwide Auctioneers. Its web address did not resolve on 8 November 2026, so no date could be checked.
• Russo and Steele. Its web address showed a parked holding page, with no auction listings.
• Leake. Its web address redirected to an unrelated online salvage car site.

If a dealer, hotel or event listing gives you a 2027 date for any of these houses, ask where it came from. Until the house posts it, treat it as a guess.

The Arizona Concours d’Elegance

The Arizona Concours is a judged exhibition, not an auction. It falls on the first Sunday of the week. The 2027 show is on Sunday 24 January at the Scottsdale Civic Center and celebrates 80 years of Ferrari.

Early bird tickets run until 30 November 2026: $85 for general admission, or $97.50 with fees, and $110 for Concours Plus, or $122.50 with fees. From 1 December 2026 to the day of the show, general admission is $100, or $112.50 with fees, and Concours Plus is $125, or $137.50 with fees. Concours Plus adds the Saturday Seminars and Dawn Patrol early access on Sunday. Seminar-only tickets are $25 plus fees.

Students aged 13 to 18 pay $50, or $61.50 with fees, for general admission at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts box office with a student ID. Active military with ID and children 12 and under are free.

Getting around the week

The two auctions are in different cities. WestWorld is in north Scottsdale, off Pima Road. The Arizona Biltmore is in central Phoenix, off East Missouri Avenue. The Concours is at the Scottsdale Civic Center. Do not plan to walk between any of them. Check the drive on a map app at the hour you will travel.

Some practical points:

• Pick your overlap day. If you want to see both Barrett-Jackson and RM Sotheby’s, it has to be Thursday 28 or Friday 29 January.
• Weekend versus weekday. Barrett-Jackson’s nine days span two weekends. Its schedule makes the opening Saturday, 23 January, Family Day.
• Carry a card. Barrett-Jackson is cashless. Plan on a card for every purchase.
• Pack a clear bag. Barrett-Jackson screens all bags and allows only small clutches or clear bags.
• Arizona time. Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time all year. In January it is one hour ahead of California and two hours behind the East Coast.
• Staying at the sale. RM’s venue is the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, so you can sleep where the cars sell.

What the buyer’s premium adds

The hammer price is not what you pay. Each house adds its premium, and then tax and any fees. Using the houses’ own published rates:

• Barrett-Jackson: 10% on site. A $50,000 hammer becomes $55,000.
• RM Sotheby’s: 12% to $250,000, then 10% above. A $50,000 hammer becomes $56,000.
• Mecum, Glendale in March: 10% in person, 12% by phone or online, with a $1,000 minimum on a vehicle. A $50,000 hammer in person becomes $55,000.

Registration, proof of funds, as-is terms, payment and transport are covered in the guide on how to buy a car at Barrett-Jackson or Mecum. If you are weighing an online buy instead, see how to buy a car on Bring a Trailer.

After the week: Arizona in March

The Valley has more for car people once January is over. Goodguys holds its Spring Nationals at WestWorld of Scottsdale on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 March 2027, 8am to 5pm both days. Goodguys estimates more than 2,500 cars from 1999 and older. One-day tickets are $27 online.

Mecum then sells at State Farm Stadium in Glendale from Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 March 2027, with 2,000 vehicles listed. One-day tickets are $30, or $22.50 if you buy online before the sale opens. Children 12 and under are free.

How this guide was checked

Every date, venue, price and premium above comes from the auction house’s or organizer’s own website, read on 8 November 2026. Where a house had not published something, this guide says so rather than repeating last year’s number. Houses add lots, change schedules and post admission terms through December and January, so check each house’s page before you travel.
