Wheel of Fortune Tickets

The show started 30 minutes late because they could get the letter board sized right. Then the buzzers didn’t work. They gave the wrong contestant A score. The first round was all women. Mark wahlberg kept teasing them that they needed to Put their back into it. The next round we’re all men. After 1 spin Mark said “wait” there is something wrong with the wheel. The letter board wouldn’t respond to the hostess halfway through the show. She gave up towards the end of the show. It really became a comedy of errors. I spent over $215 for 3 tickets. We didn’t get value for our money. Plus Clay Akin was advertised to be there. He wasn’t and there was no explanation.

Not Great! It could have been fun , but , audience members who were picked were awful!! They needed to interview the people before they chose them ! They were so boring ( except one guy who was really funny!! I think Butler just picked several season ticket holders. No give aways made it past the VIP seats!! Surprise, right? Mark Walburg was great as the host, But show too long and too boring!!!

The event was really nothing like I expected yet very much what I expected. We got off to a rough start with technical difficulties. I felt the host did a good job of being humorous. I am not a Wheel of Fortune fan. I’m not very good at it. I took my mom who loves the show. She enjoyed it and we had a lovely night out. We had great seats. If you go because you think you will win great prizes, I would not hold my breath. But go because you love or like the show.

My partner and our 9-year-old daughter are Wheel fans, and we enjoy solving the puzzles at home from our couch, so we thought this show in our hometown of Indianapolis would be a fun, entertaining family outing. That said, let me be clear that we are not super fans—we don’t tune in every night or even that regularly. Super fans may have a different take, but here is ours for what it’s worth: PROS: -Family friendly format and content -Exciting opportunity to possibly go on stage and play the game in a live setting -Also fun to play along from one’s seat in the audience (if not randomly selected) -Pretty cool to cheer others on as they compete up there live on stage for prizes -All in all, not a bad way to spend a Saturday night -Host, announcer, and Vanna counterpart were all likable and relatable CONS: -Indianapolis was the third show in the run of this event. You could tell it was new to everyone, and it didn’t seem like the first two shows had taught everyone how to get rid of all the kinks. The Indy show was rife with technical glitches, which made it start almost an hour past the original planned time to begin. -The host (Mark L. Walberg) did not know some of the rules and had to ask for clarification. Mistakes were made (and—thankfully for the contestants—mistakes were corrected), but it still took away from the flow of the show and the overall vibe. He handled these incidences very well and I’m not even sure who’s responsibility this would fall under, but c’mon: the host should be clear on the rules. -There was a pretty unnecessary intermission which could be completely eliminated from the format—the actual runtime of the show content is only 75 minutes long. That’s less than the length of most feature films, so they should just run the whole show and be done with it. We all had been waiting for so long for the show to start that we already had plenty of time to go get snacks and drinks and look at the merchandise. Also, it was obvious they had us arrive earlier than when they actually planned to start the show, which would give people plenty of time to shop beforehand even without the technical difficulties. -If technical glitches happen, instead of making the audience wait in our seats just hearing the same songs over and over, someone should come out on stage and interact a little more. Even just having the host or the announcer come out and ask the audience questions and just interact a bit would have made a big difference. We were seated by 7pm. The show didn’t even start until way after 8pm, and the host came out to briefly announce that there had been technical difficulties and the show would start as soon as they could get everything figured out. That was it. Overall, this show was fun, and we were so glad we only paid $25 a ticket because it barely felt worth that to us, although for an evening out for a family of three, $75 isn’t so bad. We didn’t feel like there was a lot of value, and if it tours again we will not be going a second time, but it was a decent one-time experience overall.

The technical problems delayed the start of the show. Also, the mics on the players could have been better. We really couldn't hear what the contestants were saying. The rest of the show was lots of fun, and the interaction with the audience made it exciting and kept us wanting more.

The organization of this event was a little frightening. One person told us we needed our IDs and not our tickets the next person told us the opposite. I registered online the night before and arrived early to solve the puzzle so I could be eligible to be a contestant only to find out there was no puzzle and I had to register anyway. But everyone was super nice and the show was amazing!! Huge shout out to the hosts. They were personable and so funny. Made the whole experience well worth the ticket price!!

Host was great, dj was great, show was ok because nothin was working! The wheel was too tight so it barley spun. Then it was loosened and moved to fast. Puzzle screen didnt work for a good half hour after start time, eventually got it working. Host didnt know the rules, but played it off as a joke, did his job but needs better preperation. Mvp area was a joke, dont pay up for it. Merchandise package was a hat and a lanyard, not good ones. Dont pay up.

My 27 yo daughter and I went together to Wheel of Fortune Live. It was the first show on the three month tour. The show was great and Mark Wahlerg and the other host were very funny. Audience participation was spontaneous and excited. The only things that we had to endure included difficulty hearing what was said, unable to see the contestants on the stage because of a speaker in the way, and we were told to arrive at 5 pm but when folks arrived, we just sat around in a very crowded lobby until the doors were opened at 6:30.

It was a wonderful event. The host was great and very enjoyable to watch.

While I was surprised when I found out after my purchase that Pat and Vanna were not going to be there; I really enjoyed the show. I purchased the tickets for my aging mother and her friends; as a once in a lifetime experience. Being able to spin the wheel play with the props and see up-close the behind the scenes protocol of Wheel of Fortune was truly a wonderful evening!! Thank you for realizing one of my mother’s entries on her bucket list.

Had a great time! Upbeat evening with lots of laughter!

Was disappointed , the event was displayed good, but the prizes were a let down. There was no 10,000 dollar prize at all. And the amount under the winners names were points not money. The most given away was 500.00. And there were 2 contestants that landed on a,trip and won that. I wanted to be chosen to be on stage but not sure i would of enjoyed it after all if i had.

No where near the experience I expected. We drove over 2 hours to the venue 1. We received email to arrive for registration 3:30-4 pm. When we got there we were told doors would not open until 4. 2. The "merchandise package" was a tote bag and a hat. 75 percent of the people there were women and 75 percent of those women were over 50. None of which wants a hat. 3. The registration process was done by volunteers that did not know what they were doing. The young men doing our registration didn't fill out the two questions regarding our desire to get in stage and our wrist band colors, which we didn't realize until the program began, but kept us from being able to get on stage and play the game and also to be able to win prizes chosen by the wrist band color. 4. The lounge was a place to finally sit down. We had 2 free drink tickets and a place to take pictures, but there was no "more". At this point it was 5 pm and we still had 2 hours to show time. There was no food or snacks and we just sat there for over 30 minutes. 5. I felt rushed when it was time to spin the wheel and I couldn't reach it being only 5'2". After most of us spun it a step was brought out so it was easier to spin. Then we were sent back to the lounge to wait. 6. After the venue was open we saw other people with food. It was 6:15 and we were starving. So we went to the concession stand where we spent another $20 to get some water and snacks. 7. The actual show started 15 minutes late. And there was not suppose to be an intermission but there was. So it lasted 30 minutes longer, which added to our drive home. The extra amount I paid for "VIP" was no where near worth the amount. 2 cups of Diet Coke, a tote bag and 1 minute to spin the wheel is not my idea of a VIP experience. Buy the cheap seats and go out and get a nice dinner and you will still spend less than I did.

Overall, the experience was underwhelming. We paid extra for VIP tickets to, hopefully, have a more enjoyable experience. The VIP experience will get you access to their lounge, where you sit for 2 hours in a room. They have a photo booth and large Connect Four board to entertain you. The positive is that you get two drink tickets...other than that, there is nothing special about VIP. The show itself was boring and we left at intermission. The hosts try to be engaging; however, lack the ability to engage the audience. The prizes are not what I expected...the winner of each round received $250. I would definitely save your money and watch from your couch.
