What are Taco Tickets?
Taco tickets are considered your taco-currency. Taco tickets are what you will give a vendor in trade for one of their delicious tacos. Vendors will be collecting all of the tickets they receive throughout the event, which in return are counted to see who sold the most tacos, as well as how many total tacos will have been consumed!  Local vendors get money back from each ticket that they collect to help them cover their taco costs and make some money at the event.
