I’ve used Iowa Events Center tickets processing before and the same thing happens with every concert ticket. 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.

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. 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.

Wow, I didn’t realize it was going to sell out so quick. I got shut out last year so I’m happy I got my six…

Hey everyone, quit your bitching! 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!

Ha. I was on exactly at noon. Could not purchase anything for 25 minutes but you can still get a ticket for the 27th event if you also purchase the 24th dinner. Weird????

Very dissappointed that we aren’t able to attend because tickets sold out so fast. 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. Guess we were wrong ((
