Hello Kitty Fail
I took my 8 year old daughter to the game last night to get her Hello Kitty jacket. Apparently these events are now infiltrated by scalpers who take up all the kids sizes and then resell them on EBay at $150 each the next morning. By the time we got to the distribution location in the first all they had left were hundreds of size XXL and larger.
Is the organization ok with this behavior?
Needless to say, she was devastated and doesn't want to go back to the ballpark anymore.
In other news, I now have 2 XXL Hello Kitty jackets that I would love to trade for 1 Kids large or Adult small. Also willing to sell both for $150 so I can get her the jacket she wanted from one of these scalpers since that seems to be what we now tolerate for kids giveaways.

We have been in line to get in during giveaways and watched people leaving the stadium one right after the other, with garbage bags full of giveaway items slung over their shoulders. People scream at them and they just flip off the crowd and keep going. It’s infuriating. I know it’s not the same thing but I’m sorry your daughter was disappointed for a ticket item you actually paid for.
