Ok, so I went to the LA County Fair in Pomona California last week. WOW!!! That was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent in my life. My family and I went on a Saturday evening after a long day at school, work, errands, etc. We were pretty tired so we decided to pay for the VIP parking which was a whopping $20. The benefit of that was parking near the entrance. So that was my bad because I should have just paid the $10 for general parking and take the shuttle (I think the shuttle is free???). Anywho, we paid for VIP and were able to walk to the entrance and still had to pay $17 a pop for each of us and $12 for my kid. Well… maybe that’ll mean I get something in return for having to pay just to enter right… WRONG!!! We still had to pay to get on the rides. The food and the drinks were outrageously priced. We paid twelve dollars for ONE funnel cake with whip cream. TWELVE DOLLARS!!! It was only the size of my hand and I’m not a big person to say the least. I’m not sure who runs the show here but what are they thinking? Speaking of shows, you have to pay extra for that too. What’s the entrance fee for anyway? Geez, I’d rather pay to go to Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm or something where at least I can ride any of the rides as many times as I want.
Needless to say, I learned my lesson. I work too hard for my money… What do I get, “Another day older and deeper in debt”.
That's ridiculous. How much was it to get on the rides. Things are way to expensive in this economy.
ReplyDeleteI would have turned around right at the parking
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy, not crazy, that's disgusting.
ReplyDeleteYou went to work and school on a Saturday
ReplyDeleteI would have turned around at the parking lot as soon as I saw it was $20.
ReplyDeleteLizzette, You buy tickets at a booth and if I can remember correctly 5 dollars would buy me 10 tickets. One ride is anywhere between 3-8 tickets a ride depending on the ride. The average was 5 tickets per ride. Way too expensive. Nancy, I should have turned around at the gate but I was hyping it up to my family not to mention with the traffic and amount of time it took us to get there. I had to stay. Jose, it's very disgusting. Chris, My lady has school on Saturdays and unfortunately I worked that Saturday. Jesse, I should have turned around.
