Date: July 18th, 2018 11:47 AM Author: Ocher Supple Sanctuary $35 or whatever regular price - $5 for pay your own age x 2 kids is a lot for many of the people who would stand in line for 5+ hours for something like this. Lol at the non-poor SAHMs who thought it would be something cute to do and ran into this, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029229&forum_id=2#36451802) |

Date: July 18th, 2018 11:54 AM Author: ungodly reading party Problem w something like this is that in order to do pay your age, you'd have to have the kids w/ you (assuming they didn't accept birth certificates as verification). So now you can't back out of it. They know they're supposed to get one and it's a huge shitstorm if they can't. They should've just given vouchers w unique one-time codes for each person in line and called it a day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4029229&forum_id=2#36451846) |

Date: July 18th, 2018 11:45 AM Author: Ocher Supple Sanctuary There was a Buffalo News article on this. 8 law enforcement agencies had to respond to the "chaos." I think 1300 people in line at one point, and they were only processing 100/hour at max. They ended up giving like $10 coupons for people to leave that could only be used once/family/visit, so screwing families with multiple kids.

Date: July 18th, 2018 11:56 AM Author: ungodly reading party I'm absolutely empathetic to that, but again, they have to have the kids wait with them. At that point I'd give them a choice. "You can wait 5 hours in line for this or we can go get $5 worth of candy for each of you." If they want to wait then fine.
