Let us know how much you spend when you get in the door....they will give you tickets to get in the door to buy $20 bags of cotton candy.


and the difference between that and a $5 small coke at the movies?

or a $12 slice of pizza at a Falcons or Saints game?

get real - that is the way it is at ANY entertainment or travel venue & has been that way my whole life...

you know that snacks and drinks are outrageous, it's the primary way they make money (the show AND the venue)

times are changing.....circuses are a thing of the past.....


maybe so

but it's still sad

ETA - I am expecting to spend roughly $80 - $150

me, the wife, 2 kids (9 & 6) - between snacks & bullshite souvenirs - will probably loosen up and spend more than I normally would since this will be the last show...

The theater is good but they are pikers along side Ringling Brothers....they are non-stop with things to buy....seriously I think we paid $15 for a bag of cotton candy...which costs about a nickel in Floss

You will be getting out cheap at that. Especially with kids that age...they are right in the comfort zone for everything they sale at the Circus LOL....

I hope they have a good time and the whole family enjoys it....it is special when they are that age!!!
