Jensens: Are you serious? You lost respect for BRBF just because other people got tickets before you? I can understand losing respect for Kanye for what he did to Taylor at the VMA’s, but this wasn’t some malevolent act by the Bacon Folks. They have to assume that the people most eager to go are the ones that got in line first. I can’t think of any other way to do it.

Randy: The organizers had to go online to order extra tickets just like you. They reserved very few (four or less each total), so there wasn’t any bacon nepotism involved.

Regarding website problems, I had them, too. It took me three tries, but I finally got them ordered. Blame the malfunctions on Wells Fargo (as if the mortgage crisis and eye-gouging fees weren’t enough to rile you). From what I heard, NEVER before had there been so many people logging on at the same time to order tickets for an event. And we’re talking Miley Cyrus, people.

Point being, don’t use your bitterness to crap all over an amazing event. These guys are trying to do right as much as possible. Almost all the hype is organically grown – aside from press releases, it’s been bacon word-of-mouth that has made this thing such a hit. They’re trying to grow it each year at a measured pace so that they can keep these problems to a minimum instead of going from 350 to 10,000 and ruining the allure and magic of ingesting 10,000 calories in six hours.

If you want to take out your frustrations somehow, move your money to a community bank. That’ll show ‘em.

(Who am I? A bacon lover. Not an organizer, not a plant. My “inside info” came secondhand from a colleague of a board member. I have nothing to gain from my post. I’m here to protect Bacon’s first amendment right to assemble.)

Hopefully I can find some on craigslist!
