I still keep wanting to call it Live! With Regis and Kelly. Reeg is gone, but Ripa is still there and she’s coming here!

The details were announced this morning, Kelly Ripa is coming to do Live! With Kelly in Banff on April 1 and 2.

So how do you get tickets to see Live! With Kelly? You gotta win ‘em.

Tickets will be randomly distributed among all ticket requests received. Those who are selected will receive a maximum of two (2) tickets which will be distributed via US mail the week of March 19, 2012. Those who do not receive tickets are invited to join our standby line location. After all ticket holders are seated, it is first-come, first-served from the standby line. Ticket holders must be 10 years of age or older. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

You can also register online to be entered in the draw.

If you don’t win tickets via the random draws, they will fill the audience for each taping via a standby list. That means standing outside The Banff Centre’s 959-seat Eric Harvie Theatre hoping the contest winners don’t show up.

Producer Michael Gelman says, “We’re always happy when we have the opportunity to take ‘LIVE’ to Canada. We have a huge Canadian fan base – they’re some of our most loyal and enthusiastic viewers.” He should know, he’s married to Canadian Laurie Gelman. (She and I used to work together on YTV’s Rock N Talk). “This will be our first visit to Alberta, and the majesty of the Canadian Rockies will be a stunning setting for the shows.”

Travel Alberta‘s [remember to breathe] campaign is sure to be heavily involved in bringing Live! With Kelly to Banff, their branding and logo is all over the webpage. You have to also think the Calgary Stampede’s 100th Anniversary will be part of the promotion on the heels of their appearance on The Price is Right.

Good luck getting your tickets to see Kelly Ripa!
