To celebrate 50 golden years as a game show on television, CBS Original The Price Is Right is hitting the road. The coast-to-coast tour will make 50 stops across the country.
The tour will give America the opportunity to play games, score prizes, and enter for a chance to win a grand prize of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), while supporting local businesses along the way.
For the past 50 years, The Price Is Right has been part of the fabric of America, uplifting viewers and contestants alike with positivity, excitement, and a daily escape.
The Price Is Right Come on Down Tour will bring its mobile game show on wheels to iconic spots nationwide, connecting with fans and giving them a chance to play Plinko, spin the wheel, and compete in a Showcase Showdown, as well as enjoy fun photo ops and experience the show’s magic firsthand.
Fans will also be able to win prizes supporting beloved local business partners whose history is deeply tied to 1972, the year the game show premiered. The tour will make special stops in cities including Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, Nashville, St. Louis, Cleveland, the hometown of the show’s host Drew Carey, and New York.
Along the way, the tour will include visits to uniquely American landmarks such as the Route 66 sign, Gateway Arch, and the World’s Largest Basket. Fans can follow the tour’s journey across the country via Instagram @TheRealPriceIsRight to see where it is headed next!
