My TPIR Trip

Every time I hear these stories I almost feel guilty for the time I arrived at 4:15 PM for the 4:30 taping. Pages rushed name tags out for my girlfriend and I, then gave us two of those portable seats for the back stage. The bright side was that at least we made it in without having to wait in line all day. I don't advise that anyone actually try this method. I was the luckiest person on Earth that day.

How strange of you to mention 11/24 & 11/26! We wound up seeing the taping for the 11/25 show!
We got to CBS on 9/22 @ 5:30 for the 1st Monday taping, and by the time we got our numbers we were #75-76 in the stand-by category (quite a few people who lined up were people who also camped out for the Emmy's red carpet the day before).
So instead, we went & got tickets for the Wednesday taping, and were about 54th or 55th in line, after getting there about 4:45. Look for the couple in matching 'just married' shirts in dead center of the audience.
For those of you who haven't been to CBS in a coupla years or so, the area just south of TV city has changed a lot, due to the addition of 'The Grove' and the bank building which sits on what used to be the free TPIR parking lot at Farmer's Market. Now you either have to pay to park at the Market/Grove area, or hope you can get shoehorned into CBS' west lot.
Nonetheless, it's definitely the Mecca for true game show fans!
