Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Barnum Bash Tickets

The Circus has gone downhill in recent years. There is no lions and tigers that you would expect to see and what is with the supposed strong man. He was just a joke. They have to get rid of that act all together. I saw no point to it at all in the circus act. I am seriously debating whether or not to even continue to even go to see the circus any more if this is the quality of circus they are going to bring to town.

Great show, I would recommend this to a friend.......

I was very dissatisfied first because I don't understand why I paid $94.95 for 4 tickets?? I understand I had preferred parking which cost $10.00 but what is convenience charge? That cost $20 for what??? We sat in row R I had a special needs child with me & it was quite a job getting down into the ring the up those narrow stairs when his balance is compromised:( also when we left as I was trying to hold onto the child I just so happened to step into a lump of crap right out side the door:( really ??it was great driving home smelling that all the way. I also was disappointed in the fact it's a circus where's the animals??? 2 elephants , dogs 1 horse and some ponies reAlly that's all??? What happened to the lions??there were stuffed lions for sale but no real ones to be see. Also flying trapeze one person only??? I grew up going to the circus & this was sad..Everything was too expensive!

Another year with no lions or tigers. Unbelievably, they didn't even have clowns this time around, unless you count the one MC. The final act was the motorcycles in the steel cage. Guess what, a total of three motorcycles and the cage stayed on the ground. Last year it was raised in the air, with 8 motorcyles in it. What a rip-off. Save your money, this show stunk.

I have to say I was very disappointed in this show. You'd assume it is a circus since its Barnum and Bailey but I don't think it is. It's called "Barnum Bash" which leads me to think this is there way of saying its not a circus?? I guess I should have done more research. There was only 1 ring, 1 clown (if you even want to call it that, and NO juggling at all). It was mainly some acrobatics and a few other things (motorcycles in cage, etc). They had the classic elephants, a dog show which was good and another average animal act, and that was it for animals. No tigers or lions. My 2 1/2 yr old fell asleep and my 4 1/2 yr old was on his way. Dont get me wrong, there were some impressive acts but I definitely don't think it was worth $33, definitely don't pay for any premium seats.

I was in awe of the performers strength and abilities but it was like watching the Olympics. I remember the circus as having lotsand lots of clowns, tigers, lion tamers and many elephants, not just two, not to mention the 'three rings' that all had something going on at the same time. I was disappointed that I didn't see all that. It was a very good show but for the price, I don't think I'll be going again. I will say that the funny guy with the suitcase was the most enjoyable.

kid thought it was fun time he got borde a few times but otherwise he was happy

One of the better Ringling shows I've seen in recent years. Liked the camel and horse act, the dog act and of course the elephants though there were only two instead of three performing on Saturday. Very good aerial acts and gymnasts and a great father/ son clown team. The strong man was a bit less impressive.... The only negative was the trio of singing girls replacing a traditional ringmaster - a total mistake in my opinion. The set was a bit more traditional and I liked the look of it a lot.

I have been to many Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus' and always enjoyed them. My daughter who is 26 now has gone to many also and she was upset last year because I didn't buy tickets for the show because she was due to deliver her baby on November 15 and I was afraid she would go into labor earliy and I would have paid for tickets and not be able to use them. This year I took my daughter her husband and their daughter who will be one on November 15. We were very upset there was one clown, one clown at a circus! No tigers or lions, only two elephants, camels, horses and dogs. This show was very kid unfriendly nothing funny about it. It was mostly dancers. Hopefully next year will be different or you will be losing a whole family of fans.

In one word my 2 1/2 year old gradsdon thought it was AWESOME! Not a circus as some may have expected but a little bit of everything animals, acrobats, trick morotorcycle and lots of humor

While there were no lions/tigers in the show, there were camels, dogs, elephants, and horses. The acrobatics were impressive, and the pyrotechnics were good. All of the verbal communication was pre-recorded then lip synched by the female dancers, which causes a disconnect between the performers and the crowd in my opinion. A lot of the show was performed by a slim 'nerd' character who did mostly comical tricks. The mighty Dimitrio appeared multiple times, including the end of the show which he laid under a ramp that was driven over by a jeep. This ending was anticlimactic in my opinion. Overally it felt like the audience was only mildly amused, and some people looked disappointed, including myself

Was a great show for kids...not the huge circus I remember but glad it was on the smaller side so my daughter didn't miss a thing. She loved it!!!

It was disappointing to see a "one ring" circus versus the "three ring" circus that I remember as a kid. Only 2 elephants and no tigers. I think there were two clowns. I paid full price and received 1/3 of a show...

It was the first time my son attended a circus. It was also his first time so close to an elephant. He had a blast at the pre-event activities. He loved the interaction & said that was the very best part of the day. He marveled during the entire show but he fell in love with the scenes of Dimitri. He was amazed at how strong he was. His father's favorite part was the end with the motorcyles in the ball. My favorite part were the gymnists/acrobats so high in the air doing such amazing & wonderful performances.

We were 4 adults attending on Saturday night. 2 of us had been to a Barnum and Bailey Circus many, many years ago and were quite disappointed. This circus had only 1 ring and was very small. The acrobats are very talented and entertaining, but there wasn't enough animal acts compared to people acts. The Ringmaster never spoke which was kind of strange. The "mime" act was obviously a fill while the acts were changing...

I took my 2 1/2 year old son thinking he would love the show because of the animals. In my opinion, they were not enough animals for it to be considered a circus. It was mostly acrobatics and humor that toddlers would not understand. For the price and the "Greatest Show on Earth", we were not impressed and wouldn't go again.

We took two 3 year olds. They loved the animals, elephants, camels, dogs, etc. Adults thought the people on the double rings going around were amazing. The gentleman that perfomed in between the acts was fantastic. He is extremely talented. The human boxing ring was so well done. The slow motion boxing was very enjoyable. The kids got a little bored during the trapeze act, but it was very well done. All in all we had a wonderful time with the grandchildren

With a big name like Ringling Bros & have seen them before, I must admit that I was disappointed. There was only 1 clown...what kind of circus is that? Where were the tigers? There weren't even dogs. It was more like a dance show.

GREAT!! My daughter loved the show and so did my husband and I...But there was not much clowns and That was a disappointment to me and my daughter....

Show was great. Held kids attention the entire show. It was a different from other circus but in a good way!!
