The Price is Right | 1/18/2012

[Mr Stratosphere]

Hey everyone!

 

I have a group of friends from Vegas and California coming out to a 12:00PM taping of the Price is Right in Hollywood.

Expect to be there from 10:30AM to 4:00PM

 

I have a group of 15 set up for the taping, but 4 of my friends cannot make it. I was wondering if anyone will be in the area on Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 and would like to join us?

 

If i get more interest I can up the group to up to 20 people. When you have a group for the show, you are guaranteed seating and do not have to wait in the general admission line. I will be contacting the Price is Right a few days before taping to confirm that the taping is still a go.

 

Below is some information on the taping.

 

Bring TWO forms of identification to the studio such as a driver's license or DMV I.D. AND something with your Social Security number on it, such as an insurance card, pay stub, tax return or actual SS card. Or, provide us with the last four digits of your SS number. If you don't have proof of your SS number with you it must be supplied within 30 days in order claim any prizes. If you are from outside of the USA and do not have a SS card, this will not be required as part of your I.D. A passport can be a substitute for the driver's license.

 

*As of Nov. 12, 2007, anyone who has not been a contestant on the show in the last 10 years is eligible to be chosen. Also, you must:

*Never have been on any other game show, local, syndicated or network, within the past year.

*Never have been on more than two other game shows in the past 10 years.

*Not be affiliated with anybody employed by CBS Corporation, including any parent, subsidiary or entity affiliated with the CBS Corporation.

Processing: This consists of checking your two forms of I.D.'s, you will receive a handwritten nametag and the Pages will go over the general rules for contestant eligibility. Prior to entering the studio, there is a brief interview by the production staff and that's how the contestants are selected. You must be present at CBS for the entire processing.

Is there an age requirement?

[Mr Stratosphere]

Minimum Age: Due to production requirements, no one under the age of 18 will be admitted to the studio or show.

Just figured I would say a few things since I did this in August 2010.

 

It's a VERY fun experience! If you've ever seen the show on TV, you HAVE to see how it's filmed in person - I won't give away any secrets, but you'll be very surprised once you step into the studio.

 

Drew Carey is a very nice guy - he was always talking to the audience during commercial breaks and just made the experience that much better.

 

Since you're all going as a group, wear similar shirts - GET ATTENTION!!!

 

After the initial screening process/ID check/etc., you'll go in another line to be 'interviewed' in groups of 10 or 15.. you won't be interviewed as a group - they just take 10 or so at a time. BE OUTGOING.. The interview panel consists of about five people and it's very quick.

 

Be prepared to wait, and wait.. and wait. You'll see.

 

Don't be mad when they take your cell phone/camera - once you're ready to go into the studio, you have to turn them in.

 

 

 

 

Groups are guaranteed entry - so make sure you keep your group at a decent size. There are individual contestants who are on stand-by; kind of sad, but they are not guaranteed entry.

 

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I would say to take pictures, but you really can't.

 

EDIT: ONE MORE THING!! Park at The Grove and walk to CBS. Eat before going to CBS, or bring something with you - there were only vending machines when I was there.

Thanks so much for the info! I'm so excited! Unfortunately we have such a huge diverse group and coming from all around, we didnt have much time to get similar shirts. We have a group of 21 now! So excited! I will be sure to share the experience! I actually did make a shirt. It's a shirt when my parents met Drew out here in Vegas! Something I've been looking forward to so in a long time!
