About Grand National Roadster Show

First held in 1950 (originally as the Oakland Roadster Show), the Grand National Roadster Show is an annual indoor/outdoor custom car and hot rod exhibition and judged competition held at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, California. Staged in late January as a multi-day weekend (typically three days), it’s widely regarded as the oldest and most prestigious indoor custom car show in the world, and it has helped define American hot rod and custom car culture from the post-war era onward.

On the show floor, vehicles are displayed across multiple indoor buildings and outdoor areas, with judging conducted in numerous classes. The marquee competition centers on America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR), where a select field of qualifying roadsters is grouped together and evaluated on design, craftsmanship, engineering, and finish—down to undercarriage and mechanical details. The AMBR winner is announced on the final day, earning the legendary title and the enduring recognition that comes with it.

The show draws elite builders and shops from across the United States, along with celebrity-owned and award-winning vehicles, industry displays, builder showcases, and premieres of newly built show cars. With climate-controlled indoor halls, open-air outdoor displays, and the centerpiece AMBR unveiling, it’s a family-friendly way to experience the best of the custom car world in one place. If you're planning to attend Grand National Roadster Show, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Grand National Roadster Show Tickets Cost?

Grand National Roadster Show tickets typically range from around $25 to $35 for single-day general admission adults to higher-priced multi-day or weekend passes (with premium packages running higher). Discounted pricing is also available for children and seniors, and participant/vehicle entry fees are separate from standard admission.

Several factors can influence what you’ll pay. Pricing commonly varies based on single-day vs. multi-day/weekend access, age category (adult/child/senior), advance purchase vs. at-the-gate, and parking purchased separately. For many fans, single-day general admission offers strong value—especially if your main goal is to spend a full day moving through the indoor and outdoor display areas.

Getting Ready for Grand National Roadster Show Show Day
