How to get cast in The Price is Right

This show offers some of the best odds of appearing on a national TV show. Each episode has 9 contestants who make it to the Contestant’s row. Six of those contestants get to play one of the games on the show, and everyone who makes it on stage wins at least one prize.

The contestants are chosen from the audience. There are roughly 300 audience members per taping which mean each person has roughly 3%. This is calculated as 9 contestants from the 300 audience members. The first step of becoming a contestant is to attend a live taping which we’ll cover below.

How do you get tickets for The Price is Right

To be in the audience of the price is Right, you only need to complete a form. The tickets are free; however, they can quickly sell out. Our tip is to request your tickets a couple of months before you plan to be in California. This will normally result in a pretty high chance that you’ll receive the tickets.

If you are a resident of southern California, you can just keep trying dates until you get accepted. For this post, I interviewed someone, Jeff, who had attended 6 tapings before he made it to the Contestant’s row. He and his roommate were recent college grads who thought that was a great way to earn some extra cash.

Here are a few of the rules to qualify as an audience member:

• You must be over 18
• You can’t work for CBS, Viacom, The Price Is Right Productions, Inc., Fremantle Goodson, Inc., FremantleMedia North America, Inc., Television City Studios, Hackman Capital Partners
• You can’t be associated with one of the companies that sponsor the prizes
• You are not running for elected office
• You can’t have been a contestant in the last 10 years of the Price is Right

Tips to get Selected as a Contestant on The Price is Right

As you enter the audience, you will be screened by the producers. You want to be entertaining and someone excited. You don’t want to tell a sob story because that won’t make good TV. Instead, it works if you can celebrate an event as it will give Drew Carrey something interesting to quickly chat about.

Another tip is to wear clothes that can easily appear on TV. This means no controversial clothing like supporting a particular product or political party. As style trends can change, I recommend pulling up a few episodes of the show on YouTube to see what people are wearing who make it to the stage and choose one of your similar outfits. A lot of people who make it to the audience will eliminate themselves simply by what they are wearing.

If you are not picked for the initial 4 contestants, just cheer and be an active member of the audience. In my research, I’ve read that the producers will have a short list of potential contestants who they watch during the games to get a sense of how they will act.

Remember, they are making a show so they are looking for people who will be memorable, but also make the show entertaining. This show is amazing with its inclusive casting. There is no one ethnicity, gender, or age group that has a significant advantage in casting.

One thing to remember is that they are looking for people who can communicate well. You’ll need to speak to Drew in many of the games and to express your bid. For that reason, you must practice speaking well, especially if English is a second language.

Tips for Price is Rights Games

Once you make it to the stage, you will need to play one of the pricing games. This will be the key to whether you walk away with a small prize or something that could be more life-changing. Our biggest suggestion for this is to watch a lot of episodes before your trip.

This ensures you know the rules of each game before you get on stage. Additionally, it will give you time to think through various strategies. Remember nerves will make every game seem much harder. It’s super easy to shout out prices or make guesses while you are sitting on your couch at home. It’s a different story when you have a car in your life that could be a life-changing amount of money.

Another tip is to take your time while you are playing the game. This is a moment you will relive for the rest of your life. You want to make sure you are giving it your best.

A tip that came in from one of our readers is to have one of your friends record your game on their phone. This way you will have access to a video of the game should there be a dispute arising from the game. This is very unlikely, but it doesn’t hurt to have a copy of your performance as mistakes in the game do sometimes occur.
