I really miss the old ticket plug.  You'd think that with the lack of attendance to the tapings they've been having they'd want to attract as much attention to getting tickets as possible, but nope.

I agree, a great point for several reasons:

1.) There is still an older demographic that follows Price. (OK, maybe not like in Bob's era,) However, there are still elderly people that don't have access to a computer.  I read statistics that have said 20-25% of US populations don't have computers.  They could have 1-2 days with conventional ticket plugs.  Have we as a society become so consumed with modern technology for the sacrifice of tradition?  Can you still snail-mail for tickets?

2.) Conventional plugs can draw even more people to the show, and could still be used 2x/week with the Internet plug 3x a week.  Having choices for how to get information can increase viewership.

I haven't heard that you cannot.

Good point, though when I did say "the old ticket plug," I was only referring to the full e-ticket plug.  Still, I like what you've said, and at the very least, we haven't seen the telephone plug in the last little while since they started with this cruddy new e-ticket plug.

Roger Dobkowitz's Seven Commandments of The Price Is Right:
1. Tape and edit the show as if it were live.
2. Never tell the contestant what to do.
3. Size matters. (The bigger the prize, the better the prize and the bigger the reaction.)
4. All prizes are good.
5. Never do anything on the show that would embarrass a parent with a kid watching.
6. Never put on a prize that would make the show look cheap.
7. It’s the game, stupid! (It’s about the game.)

You have heard wrong, seeing as how it is still listed as an acceptable method of getting tickets on the CBS website.

But isn't that what Nick was saying? "I haven't heard that you can't order snail mail" = "Yes, I believe you still can order snail mail tickets." (unless I'm reading something incorrectly)

IUFB #1: WTF?  :-o :-o :-o

Push: Am I the only one who thought that "11880" sounded like an awfully familiar guess for the trailer? Excellent.

One Away: Mary sure reddemed herself out of that first-bid blunder and her way of the uses of saying "Ol Mighty Sound Effects Lady...." was priceless. Too bad.

Check-Out: With soy milk and rice involved, I figured we were in for another tricky procedure. Boy, Was I wrong?  :roll: 18 cent differnce, Amazing.

Dice: Charita was such a BLAST!!!! You can easily feel so excited for her after winning that car. I love seeing such wonderful people like that. I applaud her.  :-)

Cliff: From happy dance to sad ending. I had a strange feeling about that pitcher after Ferdinand's guess. Toobad.

Most; I'm now paying more attention about those riding lawn mowers now. Poor Patricia went the wrong way. She still got her wish by hugging Rich, though. Sweet.

Showcases: SHEESH!!!!  :-o :-o :-o How could such bids have been accepted after 2 showcases were so obviously cheap. Where the heck did Kathlene's bid come out of? Chartia had a chance to save us from the bloody DO if only her mind wasn't elsewhere from where the audience was thinking.  :cry:

A 2-star show.

$12,099 for a sauna? In one bid?

C'mon, Mary — this isn't a custom, built in sauna (that MIGHT cost that much). And besides, this is IUFB ... where I have NEVER seen a prize worth more than $5,000 ... and rarely one over $3,000.
