Get Ready Clearwater and Brandon – Build A Bear Workshop’s “Pay Your Age” Sale Is Back
Remember that sale that caused chaos at malls all over America last summer? Build-A-Bear is trying it again. This year to avoid problems ABC Action News says a certain number of guests will be chosen to get a ticket to participate in the promotion. To get the ticket, you have to go online and sign up for their club. You have until June 16 to try to get one of the tickets.
If you don’t recall last year’s craziness, the sale was a hit. Too much of a hit. Lines stretched for hours through malls all over the country. Parents who had restless children in line were miserable. Below are the scenes they’re hoping to avoid by this new ticketing system.
Check out the scene from Countryside Mall in Clearwater:
