Yes, you must obtain admission tickets to be a part of the show as a contestant. Tickets are free and available from the Price is Right's official website.

Opt out of the audition process entirely, or simply tell the staff you're not interested in playing.

It depends. In order to appear on the program, you must not have taped an appearance on any other television game show which has been (or may be) aired within one (1) year of the taping of your appearance on the show.

The front couple of rows are priority seating. The rest are free, first come first serve.

As it says in the article, if you live far away from the studio, just book a flight there.

It's usually about an hour, but can stretch into 2 hours. It depends on how things go, how the contestants play the games, etc.
