Oprah Tickets

Oprah is going down under in December and she's taking her audience with her. She's already told her staff not to scalp tickets for the upcoming Australia trip. Audience members who do receive tickets to Oprah's final show are the chosen ones for the Sydney trip.

The Oprah Winfrey show has never broadcast outside of the US. But her show today revealed that she would take 300 audience members to Australia for a taping of the show which is said to take place at the Opera House.

MSNBC says that ticket holders to Oprah's final show were carefully selected by producers. Those who are going to Australia for eight days and seven nights with all expenses paid are some of Oprah's most loyal and dedicated viewers.

"This is really my last chance to do something really big," she teased viewers. "And if you want to do something big, you would want to take along your ultimate viewers."

When Oprah made the announcement, an announcement sure to peeve people who traded Oprah for Judge Judy, John Travolta was right beside her. Travolta was wearing a pilot's uniform.

Some of Oprah's previous gifts have been new cars for audience members. Her "O" magazine staff have received Apple ipads and $10,000 checks. She's also donated school scholarships, money for homes, and financed a girls' school in South Africa.

This is Oprah's 25th season and supposedly her last. In January of 2011, she'll launch her own network. OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, is a joint venture between the Discovery Channel and Harpo Incorporated.

The network's first show will be a behind the scenes documentary of Oprah's last season. The network is said to be preparing a show on Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York.

Although all of the Oprah Winfrey shows have been aired in the US, the 25-year-old talk show airs in 145 countries by CBS Studios International.

Over the years, audience members have gotten tickets to the Oprah show by becoming a member of Oprah.com and placing reservations at the website.
