    If anyone isn’t planning to use their’s, I would love it. My niece Kyla, just turned 4, and her daddy just turned 40, right after celebrating their birthday’s, he died from meningitis unexpectedly. I’d like to get her a build a bear with a heart from daddy in it but finances are tight. Hate to do the sob story thing, but it’s true and no pressure, just if it’s going to go to waste I will put it to good use. Thanks. shop4mybabies at a hotmail is my email

    • Jennifer

      They do this for the child’s birthday month 🙂 you pay their age ! Look into it !

    • Barbara

      If you did not get a coupon for your niece please contact me brb_roof@msn.com

  12. kerry

    Hi all! Super excited I finally got one, but I will be out of town for my dates. 🙁 My coupon is for June 26-18. If anyone can help a new mom out for a bear for the baby please send me an email and I will be happy to trade. Thanks so much! s0586688 at monmouth.edu

    • kim

      I’m no help as I got the same dates – but is that a Monmouth College email address? that’s where I went!

      • Kerry

        Yes! Jersey shore local here! 🙂

    • Cambre Pekron

      I didn’t get one to trade but have 2 kiddos that didn’t win and would really love to go if you end up not able to use your pass and would be willing to share. 😀

  13. kerry

    opps I meant 26-28th

  14. Breanna

    I am so excited that we got a ticket! My two little girls are going to be thrilled 😁💕 Our dates are the 26th-28th

    • Liza (Hip Sidekick)

      Yay! So happy you received a ticket Breanna! Hope your kiddos have a blast making their furry friends! 🙂

  15. lillee

    I’m so excited to my kids!

  16. Jo28p

    I got one too! I texted my husband and told him I got a pay your age coupon for bab and he replies $40 is a bit much for you to have a bear. 🙄 Glad we got it as my daughter’s last day of school is tomorrow and she got straight As all year. This is going to be her reward! Does anyone know how many were given out? I’m just curious!

    • Sara

      This is hilarious! 🤣

    • Laura

      There was a total of 170,000 for the us stores so it may vary for each store of how many will get used.

  17. kissling

    Is the ticket good for any stuff animal?

    • Bethany

      As far as I know, yes

    • Kb

      Tickets are valid on everything except How to Train Your Dragon and Pokémon.

  18. CJ

    I got one good June 24-26.

    • Neici

      Have you gone in and redeemed? Is it for any animal or just the “birthday” one? We have the birthday one and I already know the accessories will cost me more than the bears.

      • Cathy

        I took my 2 grandkids today. Tickets are valid on everything except How to Train Your Dragon and Pokémon. They got Bowser and Chewbacca and oh my gosh are they cute! I paid $7 for the sound for each of them is all besides the $5 for the 5 year old and $1 for the one-year old. My total was around $21. It was a most awesome deal because the original prices were $34.99 and $29.99.

  19. Devin

    Man. We didn’t get one. 😩
    If anyone isn’t using, would love to take my little girls.
    dancerchic81087@hotmail.com

  20. Winnie

    We got one but I’m still worried it’s going to be nuts..we waited in line for two hours last year and didn’t even get to the front of the building. I swore I’d never do it again, and yet I’m tempted!

    • LOri

      I’m worried too. Seems like more people got them then they stated would . Which is great but also means huge crowds again. I got the 26-28 but can only go the 26 which is an overlap of the ticket dates

      • Jessica

        200,000 are getting it and split between the states

  21. Loren

    If anyone have an extra ticket they won’t be using, please please send one to me. My daughter would love to use it, thank you in advance!! Sunvanness@yahoo.com

  22. Reddy

    I got one from 26th to 28th, but my kid will be leaving to her grandparents home on 25th. Anyone willing to trade for the earlier dates? It would be great if you could email me at Sabayreddy at gmail dot com.

  23. allie

    I got one! It’ll be a fun birthday treat for my soon-to-be 4 year old. We have the later dates… Fingers crossed our nearest store will have Tracker!

  24. Emily

    Did anyone get one for the earlier dates and would like to trade for the later dates? I have one for the later dates and would like to trade for one for the earlier dates (have June 26-29, would like June 23-26). Thanks! Munchkie4 @ outlook . com

  25. Kerrie

  42. Crystal

    How does it work? Do you get the bear for price of age and then buy clothes and other extras? Thanks!!

    • Jsturner1

      Yes just the bear you get for their age. I’m guessing everything else is full price.

  43. Abigail

    Probably a long shot…we didn’t get one and if there’s anyone who is not using one my two boys would love it. Thanks in advance and I will pay it forward in the future! 🙂 abbyv@hotmail.com
