If we count the latter, I\'ve seen the show 5 times (most recently, here in New Brunswick, NJ...the others were in Vegas, Todd I think hosted all but one, which was hosted by David Ruprecht).
Good topic!
I\'ve been in the audience of Millionaire three times. The second episode of the second run in 1999, an episode from Meredith\'s first season (met up with tvmattscott at this one, who was doing a behind the scenes, perhaps he can verify if it was Regis or Meredith?), and once for Super Millionaire (I think it was Bob-O\'s $1M win, not 100% sure).
Also saw an episode of The Jet Set, live with Eamonn Holmes, in London, in winter 2003. Saw a TPiR Barker during a GSC in 2004, I believe.
Been in the audience for too many local Harrisburg PA quiz bowl game shows to count the number (Brain Busters, High Q).
1976: Definition
1983: Battlestars
2006: The Price is Right
OK, I\'ll dive in, as best I can remember:
Wheel Of Fortune (in Los Angeles, around 2006)
The Price Is Right (Bob\'s final Million Dollar Spectacular)
Wait Wait Don\'t Tell Me (three times in Boston, but never in Chicago)
Says You (Boston-based public radio game show)
High School Quiz Show (Boston-area local high school quiz bowl show; I was a normal ticket-holder the first time and a volunteer audience seat-filler the second)
Ask Me Another (once in New York, once in Boston)
Have I Got News For You (in London)
If I have to include The Price Is Right Live as well, I\'ve seen that one three times - once in Las Vegas and twice in Boston.
I should also note that I have tickets to see Says You again on December 28, for what I think (but could be wrong) is their TV pilot.
As for me:
TPIR- I don\'t recall the taping dates except for the last two... One aired Feb 2. 2001, the other Halloween 2001, one taped November 19, 2003 (My 30th birthday) then Bob\'s final show June 2007
Card Sharks 2001- 3 episodes. One thing I recall is that an error during the bonus game actually ended up with a big win for one contestant. He had an ace, Pat asked him higher or lower. The contestant said lower, and they revealed the next card, it was a 6. However, Pat forgot to ask the contestant for a wager. Pat swore the contestant said to bet it all... they replaced the 6, contestant said a wager that time, and lower and it was a TWO.
Jeopardy!- 2001- Saw the LAST TWO episodes to feature the original dollar figures, but didn\'t know it at the time. An audience member actually asked Alex if they ever were going to up the dollar figures, and Alex replied \"We\'re thinking about it\", but it was never mentioned that the dollar figures would go up after the second taping.
Hollywood Squares- 2001- Celebs included Greg Proops, Jack Hanna (one animal had an accident during a commercial break), Debbie Reynolds (who appeared a bit lost), Shaka Khan (I know I spelled it wrong). Tom made a reference to the skunk Jack was holding by saying \"something is smelling funny\", but the producers made him redo the intro during a break... I guess they didn\'t like it. One thing that surprised me was that the stars intros at that time were taped LIVE, courtesy of a camera that swung around on a crane... that was pretty cool.
Also, courtesy of Randy West, saw the game show sets of Supermarket Sweep, Weakest Link, Family Feud (Anderson) and TTTT 2000.
I\'ve only been to one TPiR Live showing.
/I need to get out more?
//Or should more game shows come to Milwaukee?

I\'ve been in the audience of Millionaire three times. The second episode of the second run in 1999, an episode from Meredith\'s first season (met up with tvmattscott at this one, who was doing a behind the scenes, perhaps he can verify if it was Regis or Meredith?), and once for Super Millionaire (I think it was Bob-O\'s $1M win, not 100% sure).
Super Millionaire, 2005. Interviewed John Carpenter for it, who was a \'wise man\' for the ep.
2002: Five episodes of Beat the Clock. Have four of them on tape.
2005: Four episodes of It\'s Academic with Mac MacGarry. Really nice guy, he is.
2008: The Aggro Crags of two episodes of My Family\'s Got Guts, and the second rounds of two others. I was on camera very briefly in one episode; that episode ended up not airing in the US.
Also attended a Wheelmobile event just this October, if that counts for anything. Didn\'t get picked to go onstage, but still had a blast.
\"Wheel\" in Nashville (when was that? \'02?) and ... when I was a kid of 9 or 10, a local Chicago show called \"The Letter Game\", which was at WMAQ-TV. Its host was Jim Hutton -- not the actor, but the same guy who had done \"Everything\'s Relative\" a couple of years prior.
I\'ve only been to one TPiR Live showing.
/I need to get out more?
That\'s still one more than me... :-P
Missed out on seeing Wheel when they visited Norfolk in 1995. I think the tickets were awarded via a lottery system...I either never entered or didn\'t get picked. Bummer.

Wheel in Nashville was January 2003, for air in February. I was there for 7 out of the 15 and remember being so excited (as a high schooler at the time) to see the production first hand. It was ELECTRIC when Pat and Vanna stepped on stage for the first show of each session.
Also, for one session, Hershey\'s was a sponsor, and all in the audience walked out with a 1 lb. bag of Kisses.
I did not attend the taping which included the country music celebrities, but the father of my friend was the contestant who missed the solve on the bonus only to find that he had spun the 100K envelope. Oof.
At GSC5, I saw WoF and the first three eps of \"Wait \'Til YOU Have Kids!!\"
Declined an offer to see \"The New Family Challenge\".
The 8-year old version of me saw \"Battlestars\" in 1981 (IIRC, Halloween night). My entire collection of memories is as follows:
1) Thanks to our seats way up in the back and the positioning of equipment, I had no idea the contestants and Alex Trebek were even in the same room as us.
2) I saw Willard Scott.
3) I saw the \"Blockbusters\" board in storage on the NBC studio tour that afternoon.
You\'d think my brain, being exposed to a subject so clearly of interest to itself, would have set aside a little extra RAM for long-term storage here.

I\'ve been trying for a long time to see if somebody has the three episodes of TTTT, since my local NBC affiliate didn\'t carry the show, and I know GSN has aired them, but I didn\'t have cable/satellite to watch them myself.
For the record--the panel consisted of Ron Masak, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and Polly Bergen.
