The show will also be taping in Boston from July 24-26.

How to get on 'Pawn Stars Do America'

They're looking specifically for fans of the show who are at least 18 years old. You also have to be local. There are two ways to attend – as a background extra for a full day, or for an hour.

The background extras start at about 9 a.m., according to the show, and need to be available all day. They'll be paid $150 for eight hours and get a meal on set. You also need to have an item that you want to show off and potentially sell. To apply, go to OSLAproductions.com.

The second option is perfect for people who can't get a full day off work. This option isn't paid, but it will give you a chance to show the guys a cool item that you're thinking about selling. To apply, go to freeTVtix.com.

In the application process for both, expect to submit a photo of yourself and share information about what "cool and unique" item you'll bring with you.
