I bet the Facebook bitching is hilarious. This is worse than the time the Golden Corral didn’t have chicken wings for like 20 minutes on the buffet:

How is this a troll? 28$ for 7 kids? You’d have spent 3x that much on concessions.

There was probably fine print that told you about the cost to get in anyway.

Better to charge a pittance to keep out those who would spoil it.

I agree, but don’t advertise it as free then.

Baseball teams always have “free firework show after game” or “run bases free after game”

Guess its implied you have to pay for admission to game

I can understand what you’re saying but it’s not the kids fault. My wife said there were elderly people with kids that left

I'm sure the major reaction is "cheap parents." I'd pay the $4 if I brought my kids all the way out there, but, at least it's false advertising. Also, I rarely carry cash. If they didn't accept cards and I happened to not have cash and didn't worry about it assuming it was free, then I'm pissed.

$4! The fricking nerve


BTW, the cheap arse parents that balked at spending $20 on their kids looked a lot worse to their kids than the university.

ha. Was not a troll

I just can’t fathom being all up and arms about $4. Kudos to your wife being able to fork over $28 so the kids can have a fun afternoon.

Looks like they announced the $4 fee weeks ago.

Edited after post: looks like they edited the fee into the event post after the fact. Many complaints on the event page.

Just curious, why does this school even have to exist?
