I purchased 2 tickets ($120) as a Valentine's gift for my BF. We drove 3 hours, booked a hotel ($110) and spent $70 on gas down and back. We were really excited to be going. We got to the event 3 hours in advance to "register" to have a chance to be called to "come on down"!! We waited in line (to register) for over an hour, in the cold & snow. We then returned for the show (7:30pm) to be standing in a line AGAIN for another 30 minutes. We went through security and I had a bag of "wine gums" and a couple rolls of "rockets" in my purse - I was told to throw them out! The ONLY thing you could bring in was gum! I was pissed! Anyway, we took our seats and waited in anticipation for the show to start... Once the show started, they called down 4 contestants. They got to bid on the prizes. The one who won went up, the other 3 were sent back to their seats, with a thank you and here's your t-shirt. They called 4 new persons for each round, so if you got called you got one chance only to win. The people were supposed to be random but my boyfriend & I noticed that on two occasions the contestant jumped up and start screaming before their (full) name was even called out. WTH!! Hardly anyone won prizes once on stage - I think 2 people. The stage prize amounts were a pittance of the "real" show ie; Plinko's biggest amount to win was $500.00! Showcase showdown wasn't between the 2 people who won the spins on the big wheel - it was between 2 people randomly drawn - cool (I guess). For one of the showcases (the every room in the house) the contestant bid $24,000 for a 4 night/5 day trip to Hawaii including airfare, grill & smoker, apple (I think) laptop with external speakers, I think a big-screen tv and a 2018 Kia Rio. Everyone figured she was good to go with her bid (the other contestant bid too low on her showcase) However, you only win the WHOLE showcase if you guess the price within $100!!!! Otherwise you only win the the least expensive prize of the showcase! When they announced the price of her showcase she was OVER!! They said the showcase was around $21,000 total!! I've priced trips to Hawaii (from Canada) and the Kia (bare-bones) is worth 15,999 so just those 2 items alone "should've been" 25,000.00 never mind the other items. Because no one won either showcase they decided to draw a "random" name & give away the trip to Hawaii, so one guy and his wife are very happy campers!! We had fun but we were also pretty disappointed in the whole thing - def. not worth the $300. spent, the 3 hour drive or the 1.5 hours (total) waiting outside, in a cold wet snowstorm.
