Title: Turned away at TPIR?
Post by: mparrish11 on February 25, 2011, 04:44:32 PM
Ran across this on Facebook a few mins ago.  Anyone here ever use tickets from OCA, to get into a TPIR Taping?  Were you turned away?

I thought you could only get tix through CBS @ CBS-TPIR Tickets Page (http://"http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_price_is_right/tickets/")

Am I correct?

My understanding (having been there and heard from a page firsthand) is that OCA tickets for Price are treated as standby tickets--which means that ticket holders with official CBS tickets get priority when it comes to admission/seating. Once they're in, THEN the OCA people are let in.

At the taping I attended 3 1/2 years ago, OCA holders stood with standby holders.

I've been under the impression that OCA and other 3rd party tickets are "guaranteed" nowadays, but you get the worst seating possible (behind the announcer's podium, way in the back, etc.), while CBS tickets get the best seating possible, but they're not necessarily guaranteed.
