Eastwood Expo Center ripoff, false advertizing for the international all star circus May 9th 2006 Niles Ohio
I took two adults with me and eight kids with me. We drove over to the expo center from Pennsylvania to attend the 6:00 show only to find out it was sold out. So to avoid listening to eight kids crying I had to go spend $40 an Burger King to pass time until the 8:00 show. We went in about 7:45. We were charged $44 with all these free tickets we had. Then they charged an arm and a leg for everything in there, ($5 for face painting, $4 for popcorn or cotton candy, $3 for a snow cone or what looked like a 5 page coloring book, $3 for ride, ect....). It stated 2 hours of fun. The show started 15 minutes late, had a 20 minute intermission, and ended early. There weren't half the acts that they advertised on the tickets or website or tv. The expo center should know who they're renting out to. When you go to the web address of the circus and search under performers, nothing they have on there was at the expo center when we went to see the show. The whole thing was a scam, a rip off.

This sounds like the same circus we went to the other night. We had 5 kids and 2 adults.The tickets are 1 child free with paid adult.I think we paid something like a $100.00 for the whole evening. This was the George Carden show, they were great, they worked their buts off.The entire crew did everything they could to entertain the crowd.They had talent and good work ethics.Yes the food and toys cost, but come on,$100 for 7 people to have a good night out? It was like $14 a person. Thats cheaper then anything else you would do.They got elephant rides, snow cones, nachos, coloring books, and a show of a life time.Dancing elephants, pastel ponies, lions tigers, clowns and I can go on and on.I loved it and will most definatly be going when they come again.
