Barrett-Jackson Rip Off

Your post sings high praises of the Howard Hughes cars that could be seen at the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction. Did you know that the area where these cars were displayed was closed to regular ticket holders for most of Saturday? The exclusive cars at the west end of the main tent were open only to those who could afford a $350 bidders ticket. Apparently the people who can afford these cars did not want to be troubled by the riff raff that was only there to watch. As a car enthusiast, who has been attending since my college days at Arizona State University in the mid 80�s, I was shocked. This is the first year that this area has been closed to the general public and no mention was made prior to ticket purchase. This area has some of the best cars in the world, representing almost 10% of the entire show. It is the primary reason to attend, since most of the other cars can be equaled at any average car show. Be assured that I will not bother with the 6 hour drive from southern California or the cost of a ticket next year.

I am requesting a full refund of the $50 ticket from Barrett-Jackson. Please mention this to your readers so people don�t get ripped off next year.
