You can come on down, not at Studio 33 in Television City Studios in Los Angeles, but at the arena known as “The Well,” Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville.

It’s The Price is Right Live, a traveling version of America’s longest running game show, scheduled for April 5.

Greenville is one of 24 locations where the non-televised show will be staged from March 19 to April 21 and is the only stop in South Carolina. The show will spend a week in March at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota.

The live show has been traveling the country for 14 years.

The Price is Right has been on television for 58 years. The Price Is Right was on the air initially from 1956 to 1965 and then resumed in 1972, with host Bob Barker, and has been on the air ever since.

Barker retired in 2007, when Drew Carey took over hosting duties.

Contestants are chosen from the audience, who are interviewed before the show begins, When selected, they are invited to the stage with the well-known phrase “come on down.”

Contestants play a number of guessing games about the cost of various items ending with two people competing in the showcase.

The live show is similar. On the show’s website it does not say who the host will be, calling them only Celebrity Host. The contestants will be randomly selected, the website said.

In all $12 million is the pot for winners and games expected to be played are Plinko, Cliffhangers, The Big Wheel and the Showcase.

Tickets In Greenville range in price from $26.50 in the upper balcony to $152 for the seats right in front of the stage.
