Entertaining Show
by DavenportGirl on 11/20/14Five Flags Center - DubuqueI was very unsure what my experience would be when I read the reviews after I purchased our tickets. Some of these views make the live show sound horrendous. I was pleasantly surprised. First thing, this is NOT the show seen on TV. It's a live stage show not recorded to be televised and less extravagant winnings. Our event was hosted by Todd Newton(had to look him up# who did a decent job, not Bob Barker or Drew Carey, but did well at hosting. The show started about 10-15min late waiting for everyone to be seated. During our show they played a handful of games and called up 4 new contestants for each game to allow several people to be involved. New contestants were called up to spin the wheel and participate in the final showcase. In between games several $25 gift cards and t-shirts were given away at random. During the games we saw people win $750, $1400, $200, a flat screen, xbox 1, Madden 2015 and some other prizes. During the final showcase there was opportunities to win a trip to Hawaii#with stipulations, bid being within $100), a trip to Hollywood to attend a Price is Right taping, a Volkswagen Jetta, luggage set and so on. Unfortunately both contestants overbid and both were awarded $200 anyways. Overall I'd say 50 or so people were involved with playing games, random prizes or at least getting called to contestants row. If you go in, expecting it to be like the actual Price is Right and winning a car and a new dining room set, you'll be disappointed. If you go in with an appreciation for the show and the potential for winning small prizes and watching others excitement, you'll enjoy it. Our venue was filled with mostly older people but it is fun for all ages! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars because I had a hard time seeing with my floor seats and wish I was in the elevated seating. Plus who wouldn't enjoy seeing a couple more games played? I'd go again if given the chance!
