I like Dr. Phil. This isn't about him, yay or nay, I just like his show.

Every episode there is always an advertisement for people to get tickets to be on his show and wonder how long it would take to get the tickets? Would they ask me my time frame at all, or just tell me which days are free? How does that work? If I live in Middle America and will be in LA in November, can I request that?

Seem to me that a popular show like that, that the shows are booked years in advance. Dunno. Same could be asked about other shows. Seems like The Price is Right is a hot ticket too since there is a small chance for someone to be chosen to play. But I would think again that Wheel and Jeoprady would have a looooong waiting list.

So what is the skinny on getting a ticket?
