Hey <<First Name>>!
Burning Man sells out instantly every year, so you have to be strategic and plan ahead if you want to score tickets!
Most important things to know:
All turtles must register for the main sale on March 23rd
All turtles must participate in the main sale on March 30th at 12pm PDT
Even if you have tickets from another source, we ask you to participate in the main sale, to help us get tickets for everyone.
Go put that in your calendar, and meet me back here, I’ll wait!
More Details
Read the official guide first:
Tickets are transferable so you can resell them (at face value) if you end up with more tickets than you need. Burning Man always sells out so you will never be stuck with an extra ticket.
Each year we work together to get as many tickets as we can to cover our campers.
Tickets are typically sold in pairs. Even if you are coming by yourself, if you have a chance to buy a ticket, buy two and sell one to another turtle who might not have been successful scoring a ticket. We’ll help connect you.
All ticket sales take place in two steps. First, there is an online “registration” to buy tickets. Then, at a fixed time, you can actually buy the tickets online… but only if you registered! Always remember to put BOTH days on your calendar: the registration and the sale.
The FOMO Sale
If you have some extra money and want to be ASSURED of a chance to attend Burning Man, the first sale, the FOMO sale, usually does not sell out quickly and you have a good chance of getting tickets. However because they are more expensive ($1500 or $2500 instead of $575) these tickets can be tricky to resell.
