[quote name=\'mikeg\' date=\'Oct 23 2005, 06:41 PM\']Hi, I lurk here often and I am going down to see The Price Is Right Live at the Showboat casino. I have a ticket for the 10 p.m. show. Could somebody fill in on how the procedure works and how early I should get there. Thanks.

By now, you have probably been through the process, but for the benefit of those who are hoping to go when the show reopens at Bally's on November 20 is as follows:
You need to present some form of photo ID and fill out a form. Two prizes are shown, usually a car and a small prize, from years ago. You have to guess the prices. Those bids are used to determine who plays in the main games and who plays in the showcase. It's conceivable (and it has happened according to Randy) that the same player can play both a stage game and a Showcase. Remember, different people are chosen for all parts of the game, including the Showcase Showdowns, and four new people play the one-bids each round, so there are plenty of chances to get on stage.
Hopefully Randy can fill us in on who's going to be opening as host and as announcer when the show resumes.
BTW, the show that TPIR is replacing at Bally's is the long-running "Legends In Concert", which I believe was originally done at the old Imperial Palace in Vegas.
