X number of people jump online when tickets go on sale and "reserve their tickets" or put them on hold until the sale is complete. They're not available for someone else to look at but it is not sold. A ticket can remain in counter-hold status for like 7 mins. If the sale is not complete in those 7 minutes the ticket is returned to the available status which allows someone else to put the ticket on hold and possibly complete the sale. We're at the mercy of the internet age, y'all. I’ve used Iowa Events Center tickets processing before and the same thing happens with every concert ticket.

Thought to myself, now this has to be my kind of Festival. I was surprised at how quickly the tickets went, so there must be bacon people out there besides me.Sad to see people being turned away, especially if people "hogged" the tickets. I agree, two tickets per order. From Davenport but read about this in DSM Register while in DSM earlier this week. Thought to myself, now this has to be my kind of Festival.

If you really want tickets, go post on Craigslist that you will pay more than face value to get them. If you won't pay top dollar, then shut up and go have a BLT.The fact that this event has such a demand for so few tickets is what makes it special! Hey everyone, quit your bitching!

I was on the internet at 11:45 until 1:00 trying to buy tickets!!! We even had to schedule our vavaction around the Bacon Festival because we would ABSOLUTELY not miss it.
