Sports fans are used to stadium concession prices, but LAFC took it to a whole new level during their “Hello Kitty Night” on Wednesday, sparking a social media firestorm with $54.99 Hello Kitty nachos and tacos. This promo night definitely “raised the bar” on what people expect to shell out at a game.
Hello Kitty, Hello $54.99?!
Pictures started blowing up on social media, showing these specialty Hello Kitty nachos and tacos ringing up at a cool $54.99 each. Based on a bunch of Reddit posts, it looks like that was the going rate for any food item that came bundled with the LAFC/Hello Kitty-branded lunchbox. Who doesn’t want a cool lunchbox, right? But for that price? That’s some serious cash for game-day grub.
At Least They Got The Win
Despite the sticker shock at the concession stand, LAFC did send their supporters home with three points after a 3-1 win over Austin FC. Denis Bouanga got things started for LAFC, scoring the opener in the 52nd minute. Austin FC’s Brandon Vázquez equalized in the 66th, but Bouanga responded quickly to put LAFC back ahead. Son Heung-Min then sealed the deal with an insurance goal in the 72nd minute.
So, while fans walked out of the stadium with a souvenir lunchbox and three points, they also likely walked out with a much lighter wallet. Definitely a night that got people talking way beyond just the pitch.
