Title: CBS: 'Guaranteed Seats at Price in October!'
Post by: penny_ante on September 30, 2009, 04:50:15 PM
I got this in my email a few days ago from someone at CBS. I don't know how much of it is still current, but if anyone's looking to be in the LA area, here's an opportunity that'd be hard to pass up.

Don't know how they can say "guaranteed seating", especially when it says ON THE TICKET that a ticket does NOT guarantee admission into the studio.

The email didn't say anything about tickets, it's offering to reserve seats.

I'm assuming this process is entirely outside of the normal ticketing/OoA system. When I was there, there were several seats that were marked off in masking tape, and as we ticket holders were corralled into the regular seats, special guests were ushered in from other doors and taken to these special seats. I'm assuming it'll be a process more like that.

Because they operate the studio and they make the rules. Simple as that.

I think I got it because I requested tickets in the last month or two. Can you corroborate: did your mom request tickets anytime recently?

Maybe not enough free tickets we're requested during those days?

I guess this answers my question as to whether or not they are still using paid audience groups/companies to fill seats.

The only tickets my mother have ever requested were for the Season 36 MDS's.

(As did I - we both requested individual e-tickets for ourselves, despite this being incredibly unnecessary.)

Odd. It can't be for expense that your mom got the email and you didn't. I don't see any good reason why this would be the case. That's a head scratcher.

I will be visiting  the LA area for a funeral next week. I called that toll-free number and spoke to Kim. They still have guaranteed seats available (I picked up 4 for the 12:30 October 20th show)

She said all I have to do is come down to the studio at 8:30 and give a CBS page my name. No need to wait in any lines outside TV City.

Can't wait for my 2nd visit to the BBS!
