Terms and Conditions

All sales are final. Tickets to Baconfest Chicago are non-refundable.

Tickets are transferrable. Tickets may be transferred by the purchaser using Universe.com’s “Transfer Tickets” feature or by giving your tickets to the recipient.

Security Policy – PLEASE READ

The UIC Dorin Forum will be using metal detectors to screen attendees upon entrance into the venue. As part of their security regimen, there is a new policy in place that limits what sort and size of bags are allowed to be carried into Baconfest.

The best option is to leave all bags at home if you can.

If you must have a bag at Baconfest, the best bag to bring is a small bag made of transparent material (no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”).

If you don’t have a small transparent bag, small non-transparent bags and purses will be allowed after being searched (no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”). This search may delay your entry into Baconfest.

Larger bags WILL NOT be allowed in the venue and should be left at home.

Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.

All guests must pass through metal detectors to enter the UIC Dorin Forum for Baconfest.
