The Price is Right Come on Down Tour! is a mobile coast-to-coast version of The Price is Right where it gives fans the opportunity to play games, win prizes and enter for a chance to win a grand prize of $50,000 while supporting local businesses along the way.
To celebrate 50 golden years as the most iconic and joyful game show on television, it was announced on March 21, 2022 that a coast-to-coast tour will make 50 stops across the country to iconic spots nationwide by connecting with fans and giving them a chance to play Plinko, spin the wheel and compete for a Showcase 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 show premiered on CBS.
The tour made special stops in cities including Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, Nashville, St. Louis, Cleveland (the hometown of the show's current host Drew Carey) and New York. Along the way, the tour visited uniquely American landmarks such as the Route 66 sign, the Gateway Arch and the World's Largest Basket. Fans can also follow the tour's journey across the country (via Instagram) @TheRealPriceIsRight to see where is headed next.
According to president and chief marketing officer at CBS Mike Benson, he said that "The Price is Right has been changing lives and touching hearts for 50 years". "This longevity stands as a testament to everything good about CBS programming and the success of our fan-first approach to television. The COME ON DOWN TOUR is an expansion of our mission to bring fans closer to what they love in new and exciting ways, while simultaneously supporting iconic local business partners in each city".
