Cyber Monday is the biggest online shopping day of the year, with millions of people shopping for the best deals this holiday season.

IBM said that as of noon on Monday, online sales were up seventeen percent this year as compared to last year.

That is also a strong comparison to Black Friday sales. The National Retail Federation said that Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales are expected to reach about $50 billion this year, down eleven percent from last year.

In the Quad Cities, the River Bandits are taking advantage of Cyber Monday as well, offering deals on ticket bundles, Ferris wheel packages, and River Bandits apparel.

"Cyber Monday is a really important day of the year for all of us. We've found that we really can get a lot of success when people can make purchases from the convenience of their own home or their couch or their computer," said Andrew Chesser, the general manager of the River Bandits.

Chesser said the Cyber Monday sales will last until midnight on Monday, but their ticket sales will continue up until opening day in April.
