How to snag a Build-a-Bear without the six-hour line Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Build-a-Bear Workshop’s Pay Your Age event is back but this time there’s a catch. Just like last year, not everyone will get to pay their age for a new friend, but this time it’s by design. This year, only a select number of children holding Pay Your Age “winner” tickets will get a furry friend. Maybe this will stop screaming children and parents from clogging up local malls. The sale is simple enough. If a child is 3, they pay $3 for a bear and if they’re 14, they can get one for $14. Remember last year’s debacle? At one point, the line at the Florence Mall was 6 hours long. By 11:30 a.m., Build-A-Bear announced in an email message to its subscribers that lines were closed for all their U.S. stores.

Here’s how the promotion will work this year: Sign up for the Build-A-Bear Bonus Club rewards program by June 16 and enter the contest. Those with accounts will need to fi ll out a birthday profi le. By June 21, rewards members will fi nd out if they’re one of 200,000 guests in the U.S., U.K. and Canada to receive a “winner” ticket. The “winner” ticket can be used between June 24 to June 28 to snag the Pay your Age sale. Parents can use one ticket for up to two children. To avoid long lines, even with a limited number of winners, Build-A-Bear is staggering guests in three-day windows. Guests with winning tickets will be assigned a date range to visit their Build-A-Bear store: June 24-26 or June 26-28. USA TODAY contributed to this article.
